I have a flow that downloads a pdf from a website link on to a SharePoint file library folder. My intentions are to rename the file with the existing file name plus date extracted from pdf document. I have another flow that i tested with OneDrive and it works perfectly. How can i convert that flow if possible or create a similar one to use with SharePoint.
Below is the OneDrive flow i used:
@SamLed ,
This is very helpful. I did not think about the move option. I new that OneDrive Teams, and Outlook use sharepoint. But I am new to flows. Anyways, i had found a different way to do what i wanted. I downloaded the files directly to a onedrive folder instead of sharepoint. And did my filename update there them saved it to the final sharepoint location. But like i said this could could clean up the flow.
Hi @oguerra1,
Behind the scenes, SharePoint in Microsoft 365 provides the content services for all files in Microsoft 365. So OneDrive, Teams, Yammer, Outlook, etc... all use SharePoint.
By the way, SharePoint connector offers equivalent actions and triggers as the OneDrive one, except some like conversion or tag managment actions. The main difference is that for SharePoint actions you have to specify the destination site while for OneDrive this is not necessary, target OneDrive (Sharepoint site behind the scene) is linked to the connection.
Ex:
OneDrive "Move file":
SharePoint "Move file"
Here you need to specify the source site and destination site, it can be the same. Sharepoint also offers more options if a file of the same name already exists in the destination.
See below table where I tried to make a match between both connectors' actions:
OneDrive |
SharePoint |
N/A |
|
N/A |
|
N/A |
|
N/A |
|
N/A |
|
N/A |
|
N/A |
Hope this will help, you can also post your flow design, so I can tell you exactly what to do.

SharePoint is nothing more than a OneDrive with a database and a couple webpages bolted on. What are you aiming to gain from the move?
