Copying a new file from Dropbox to Sharepoint, then delete file in Dropbox

Hi,

I've used the flow template "Copy files between Dropbox and SharePoint" - I am wondering if there's a step I can add to the flow that deletes the file in Dropbox after it's copied over into SharePoint. It'd be great if this step could be automated, so that I don't have to go back into Dropbox and delete the files that are copied over.

Any help or ideas on this would be appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous

You need to follow this steps:

1- Go to 'My Flows'
2- Click to Edit(pencil) the flow
3- Click to add new action
4- Search 'dropbox' and chose 'Delete a file'
5- On the field 'File' put the content 'File Path' that are inside 'When a file is created'

Done!

After this when copy to SharePoint the file in dropbox will be deleted.

Hope Have Helped,

Best Regards,

Gustavo Moraes

Hi Gustavo! Thank you for these steps - I've tried it out and it works now. The file automatically deletes in Dropbox after it is copied over into SharePoint, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks again!
