There is some way to copy files automatically hosted on the onedrive for bussiness that owns the flow (administrator) to a shared folder of another user.

that users can't sign on flow, we need something like a direct link to access the shared folder.

    Hi @andreer1 ,

     

    What do you mean by "that users can't sign on flow"?

    In general, users do not need to log in to MS Flow to create a Flow, just use their corresponding account to create a connection.

    For example, if you are copying files from OneDrive for Business to a local folder, you will need to use the configuration shown below:27.PNG

    The connection configured by action should use the username and password of the corresponding user.

     

    Best Regards,

    Can you explain a little bit more please? I'm already worked with gateways in flow for other purposes

    Only way to access a share drive would be using an on-premises data gateway. Details of what that needs can be found at
