Moving network share files to Sharepoint while avoiding overwrites

Posted on by momalle1

Hi! I have a flow that monitors a network folder and copies any new files to a Sharepoint folder. It works great, I used a template from Microsoft. I'm having two problems with it. First, if a file exists in the destination with the same name, the flow overwrites the existing file, I'd like the new file to be renamed, appending the name with consecutive numbers or the date or something like that and not overwrite. Second, I'd like to delete the source file after the copy action. Here is my flow.

Thanks Tristan, it took a while, but I finally got it using your separate landing tip!

Hi @momalle1 !

You are actually almost there ! I would suggest you to use 2 libraries, one for the "landing" another one which will be the "final destination" one.

You would have to create your file, copy it using the most relevant option for you :

Then deleting the file from the landing library :

Let me know if it helps.
