Automating files from a shared location

Posted on by JohnM1

I have a folder which has been shared with me, I don't have access to the SharePoint site, just the folder within the Shared Documents.

I want to automate the files within the folder to copy to another SharePoint location on a site I own.

I am able to use the "When a file is created (properties only)" trigger to recognise when a file has been added, but can't find an action which will allow me to copy the file without getting 'Access Denied' warnings.

Any help?

Re: Automating files from a shared location

this can be closed a solved. I used the "when a file is created or modified in a folder" trigger. Even though it did not accept the site address, or Folder ID on first entry (I assume since I didn't have access to the root location) - if you persist and keep inputting and moving to the next field it does eventually remain. Then just used the copy file action and the same again for the "Current site address"
