Save attached file to a sharepoint and make it hidden?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 6

Is it possible to save a file thru flow and make it hidden? I can´t find away to do it.

 

I want to use it because it is just a "data" file that is a connector to another file I´m using and I do not want anyone to see it.

    Hi @MarkMarkMark,

     

    There is no any way to make a file hidden in microsoft flow currently.

     

    If you want to save a file thru flow and hidden the file in microsoft flow,

    I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently.

     

    If you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

    Best regards,

    Alice

    Hi @MarkMarkMark

    Do you mean that you want to save an email attachment into SharePoint and have the file hidden from everyone else once it’s in SharePoint?

    If so, just save it to a SharePoint site where only you (or people of your choice) have access. This way no-one else will see it. Not even through search as those results will be security trimmed.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the answer!

     

    Not really the issue here thou! To not make it to complicated the only thing I need is to make the file "hidden" because the sharepoint access needs to be open in this case. I know people can see it anyway by choosing "show hidden files" but very few will do that. I just do not want it on the tree within the folder (and in this case it has to be in that folder).

     

    So just with flow "Save attachment" and somehow automatically make it as a hidden file (when it replaces the hidden file today it is shown again when it is updated).

     

    Thanks
