I can use this link to achieve this but I added the below steps to achieve this.

1. Get Files from the Source Site. Also choose Yes for Include Nested Items.

2. Use Parse JSON

3. In the Apply To Each

a. Get Identifier with Compose

b. Get IsFoloder with Compose

c. Get Path with Compose

d. Get Length Path as mentioned in the above link

e. Now, check if it is in the root folder by checking the length is equal to 2

f. if it is true then use copy folder action to copy the folder as shown below. Use a. Identifier in the Folder to copy

g. if it is false then use copy file action to copy the file as shown below. Use a. Idenftifer in the File to Copy

Hi. Try like this

1. Get all files and folders from specific document library

2. Loop through each of it using apply to each

Inside apply to each, do the following

2.1- Try to check whether file/folder with same id exists before moving as shown below

2.2- use condition to check the same

Expression -

length(outputs('Get_files_(properties_only)_2')?['body/value'])

If the condition is true, file exist there so proceed to yes branch

Use condition to check whether object to be moved is a file/folder like above

if yes, then use move folder to move that folder like below

if no, use move file to move the folder

Try this approach

Thanks & Regards,
