When a file is created - Root/No Items

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 35

I'm trying to create a flow "Copy files from a folder in OneDrive (Business) to an FTP server".  The trigger is "When a filed is created" in a OneDrive directory.    When I attempt to navigate to the folder I just see ROOT, then "No Items".  

I also can't figure out how to obtain the unique identifier of the folder.

    Hi @cfnwfwmd 

     

    Can you share more details? Are you trying to access a shared onedrive folder? Note that, the OneDrive for Business connector, does not support access to shared folders. 

     

    Hope this Helps!

    Thank you for replying @yashag2255 

     

    Yes, my trigger folder would be shared drive.   Would there be a workaround?

    Hi @cfnwfwmd 

     

    Unfortunately no. This is a limitation to the connector. You might want to check SharePoint for this. 

     

    Hope this Helps!
