There is a pdf stored in the network from which I want to upload onto a sharepoint document library. As of right now, the individuals will upload the pdf onto the folder in the network and then after upload it on sharepoint. Unfortunately, they sometimes forget to upload it onto sharepoint. This is why I'm wondering if there is some sort of flow or some other approach that will upload the pdf file. Also, replace any already existing pdf files in the library.

PDF File in Folder:

Document Library:

Hi @alopez222 ,

if the files are on a local network stored, you can think about using the On-premises-data gateway.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/gateway-reference

This will make your files files available in Power Automate with combination of the File System Connector

With that you can use a simple flow to upload an replace your files. Trigger can be when a file is uploaded.
