Posted on by lexdekrijgermbo

Hello, I have a working power automate flow that when I receive an email from a certain mail, I add the file to a sharepoint folder, but when a new one arrives the other one is overwritten, now for one of my objectives that is okay. But for another objective I want to store the history of what I receive, so If i want to add the csv file to the already existing csv file in the sharepoint folder. Such that overtime the file keeps increasing incrementally with new information. So far i Have this.

But now instead it should look if the file already exists and add to it.

Hi,

You can use the "Move File" sharepoint activity, it has an option to check if a file exists and if so, to keep both.

But, in order to use this activity the file has to be created already so what you can do is:
1. Save the file to a temporary location
2. Use move file activity and check if file exists
3. delete file from temp location.

Succes! 😛

But if I do this I will get two seperate files, and not one bigger file. I want to put the new attachment into the existing file in sharepoint, not create a new file in sharepoint.
