Hi @willy30870

The trigger only works for the specified folder
So if I add files within the folder defined , it will work

However , if the folder contains subfolders then it will not trigger for files uploaded in the sub folders
You will have to create a trigger for each sub folder

There is a user voice out there with this request

Hi @willy30870 ,

I did a test on my side and set Include subfolders to Yes. When I create a file in a subfolder, Flow will be triggered.

You could view the File path, which is created in the subfolder.

Please try again.

Best Regards,

Thanks for your reply,

This is the beginning of my flow :

And it works well in test mod...but nothing happened when he is in real test... I will try with your trigger to test...

Has RezaDorrani says : "if the folder contains subfolders then it will not trigger for files uploaded in the sub folders"

I will have to find another solution because I have more 250 folders to monitor...I can not create 250 identical flow, it's to complicated to administer...

Hi @willy30870

As @v-bacao-msft pointed out, my statement of you having to creating multiple triggers is not true
The same Flow set on a folder will work for all sub folders
