    Hi @sadath 

     

    Just for me to understand what you need:

    1. You want a Power Automate that triggers regularly and copies a file to your OneDrive
    2. You want a Power Automate that triggers when a new file is added somewhere and copies to your OneDrive

     

    If I have answered your question, please mark your post as Solved.

    Before you begin:

    Connect to File Systems on your local or network machines to read from and write to files using the On-Premises Data Gateway.

     

    Step 1: 

    Create a Flow that Runs on schedule  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/run-scheduled-tasks

     

    Use the Trigger- Schedule - Recurrence.

     

    Step 2: 

    List files in folder

    This operation gets the list of files and subfolders in a folder

     

    Step 3:

    Get file content

    This operation gets the content of a file.

     

    Step 4: Create a File in OneDrive

     

    Create file

    This operation creates a file.

     

    You can use this article for your reference, for details see: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/microsoft-flow-recurrence-wf-to-copy-files-from-local-shared-path-to-sharepoint-document-library

     

    Instead of "SharePoint Create File" use the "OneDrive Create File" action. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/onedrive/#create-file
