Move files from my computer PC

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 36
Hello! 

I would like to move a file from one folder using their path to another folder.

For example, I have the folder1/folder2/file.txt path that I want to move to the folder3/folder4/folder5 path.
I tried with File System, but "Append file" does not work with folders.

Thanks!

    Hello, 

    To do the Line 35: Choose which flows should be triggered (remember to enable this line). You could run multiple flows, do I need to have the premium license?

    Thanks!

    Can I add a recurrence, so that the flow happen every 1 hour? 

    I do not find how to do it in Power automate desktop.

    Thanks!

    Ok! I'm having difficulty in finding the action you're using.

    Can you give me a picture of the logo?

    Because there are several (Copy sharepoint-file, Copy drive-file....)

    Hi @Chi3 

     

    I answered your question on the other thread you posted. Please do not post the same thing multiple times.

     

    If you want to MOVE files you must use the

    Move File Action

    If you want to copy then use the Copy Files
