It looks like your Get files action is not returning any values (files):

Please check the filter query and confirm that it does return a valid set of files.

@nickliau

Can you post a screen shot of your loop and the actions in the loop?

From the runtime output, how many files did the flow try to move?
For example, 29 files moved:
Check the runtime for the Move file action to see WHERE the files were moved to

Or if no files were moved you will see:

Please check the date calculation in Get Files query filter.

To simplify the find process you could hardcode a date into the query:
If the flow works, then look at the data calculations.

You shouldn't need to use the Get File metadata action. Please try:
