How to copy a folder in a current folder

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hi guys! 
My challenge is that I need to copy a template folder to my current location (which always changes) on Sharepoint. How can I have the flow automatically detect the path and just copy the folder here when manually triggered? I only managed with a specified path, but that defeats the purpose.

Is there a setting I can't find where I just have to provide the location's link and the folder gets copied there?

Thanks!

    Hi @ariciroz ,

     

    Could you please explain more details about the current folder that you mentioned?

    Does the current folder would be a dynamic path?

    Please explain more details so we could better understand you and provide a proper workaround.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice

    Hi Alice @v-alzhan-msft ,

     

    The task goes like this: I have a Template folder, that contains a folder structure inside, in a Sharepoint Library.

    In the same library, in another folder I create, I have to copy the template folder (lots of folders, I know, I'm not the one who created this procedure).

    I cannot pinpoint exactly the location of the folder I create as it changes from case to case, so yes I guess it would be a dynamic path. So how I see this automation going, is I create this new folder and then I trigger the copy action of the template folder inside. Is it more clear now?

    Hi @ariciroz ,

     

    Sorry for we couldn't help you with the provided information.

    I suggest that you could explain the folder struggle with example and explain how would you trigger the flow so we could better understand you.

     

    Best Regards,
