Posted on by RioPutra

Hello community,

 

I'm trying to design flow to automatically copy files from your local PC to server.

The flow is starting with user going to somekind of web page or form, then selecting the folder that need to copy there.

then when the copying process finished, server admin will recerived email notification.

Thank you for your input and suggestion.

    Hi @RioPutra ,

     

    You could create a flow with trigger "Manually trigger a flow", and then add a file input and a text input in the trigger, you could choose a file in the file input and manually enter the file name in the text input, then you could create the file in your server such as onedrive, the screenshot of the flow should as below:

    Please let me know if your problem could be solved.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
