Archive files with Power Automate keeping the full file path

Posted on by valeriya

Hello

Can anyone suggest how to archive files with Power Automate keeping the full file path?

As far as I understand, first we need to make the path to the folders in the Archive document library similar to the path to the main document library, and then move the files older than two years into the document library.

I am having problems creating a new folder path to the Archive document libraries.

Sorry for such a late reply😬
Here is the flow.
When the folder path is created, the library name is added to it. As a result, the file is not moved to the archive.
Is it even the correct way to do this, if the goal is to move the files older than 2 years to archive?

This is how I did it. I used a variable to set a "Root Folder" that needed to be removed from the path.
Then remove from the path:

A is:
replace(outputs('Get_item')?['body/{Path}'],variables('RootFolderName'),'')
B is simply:
substring(variables('DestinationFolderName'), 0, sub(length(variables('DestinationFolderName')),1))
Then use the Output:
You need to persist with the highlighted parts in this step - it might complain about syntax but just keep trying! e.g. you will need to type in the "Destination Folder" then add the "Dynamic Content" - it is not an "Expression"!

C is the Identifier from the "Get item" step
D is the ID from the "For a selected file" step
