Copy Files from Dropbox to OneDrive

Posted on by CU17022115-0

I am new to Power Automate.

My goal is to duplicate/backup whatever is in Dropbox to OneDrive. I have been doing this manually but I'm sure I have missed some files.

Some of the features:

Use the same directory structure on Dropbox on OneDrive
If the file does not exist, copy it.
If the file does exist in OneDrive but the date in Dropbox is more recent, copy it to OneDrive
If the file does exist in OneDrive but the date is older than Dropbox, do not copy it.

I see the following templates that are close but not quite:

Copy files to OneDrive for Business when they're added to Dropbox - Not using OneDrive For Business
Sync modified files between OneDrive and Dropbox - wrong direction

Hi,

Here's some general framework to help you get started. I wouldn't worry too much about the dates, etc. if the file is created in Dropbox, it is going to be newer than the one in OneDrive, since Dropbox is the trigger. I'm suggesting you are not trying to do a bi-directional date sync check.
