Local folder creation

Hi,

I don't know if this is possible....

I have a network drive with all our current projects in a folder called current. (We currently make these directories manually after adding to a spreadsheet that this job is active)

The powerapp I am looking creating would hold all the information on all projects.

I was wondering if it could automatically make a folder in the current projects directory and once the record is saved have the address saved so I can click open so that folder is opened.

Each person on the local network will have access to powerapps, the folders and only needs to work in the office where the network drive is located.

If this is possible, is it also possible to copy a template of different sub folders and files into the new folder.

Hi @MooseBot88

The File System connector is what you would use. You would use that in conjunction with the on-premise gateway to access your local network drive.

This is the key part of this task - hopefully you can work out the other steps in the Flow to carry out the remaining tasks. If not, post back here.
