Is there a Power Automate connector that can determine what is the newest file in a onedrive folder?

I know i can do this in a Sharepoint folder, but I need to find the newest file in my onedrive instead and copy only that file over to a sharepoint folder.

 

Thanks in advance.

    The List Files and Find Files for OneDrive can't do a sort like the SharePoint connector can, but you can use the same Get Files (Properties Only)  action you use for SharePoint.  Then just sort descending on ID, since you can't sort delegably on created date.

    Hello pStork1! Thank you for your quick response.

    For some reason I get the error message, "We are unable to find the site address. Please try selecting a site address from the dropdown."  

     

    I opened OneDrive for the web and used that URL.  

     

    Any further suggestions?

    As long as you are using the same account as the OneDrive account to make the connection that should work.  Did you make sure to enter the URL using the Custom setting at the bottom of the dropdown? You can't just type it into the dropdown.
