Copy folder from a local directory (C:) to a local network directory (Z:)

Posted on by DTransformation

It was possible to do it with this:

 

Folder.Copy Folder: $'''A:\\Transformação Digital\\Fusion Platform\\Treinamento Fusion\\Introdução para Usuários Fusion''' Destination: $'''Z:\\''' IfFolderExists: Folder.IfExists.Overwrite CopiedFolder=> CopiarPasta

 

With the new update, I can't select another local network directory, but it is still possible to copy file.

    You don't need to select it via the helper UI - just type in the path into the field for the destination.

    This might be a bug that should be reported to MS support. But can easily be worked around.

    Hi @DTransformation 

     

    If you need to copy the C drive folder to an network drive, then first you need to map the drive as a local drive 

    Currently you have only C drive only,  don't have the network drive mapped that's why it was not happing with the action,

     

    Below link for mapping a network drive

    If this is not allowed then you can use the actual address that you are accessing the folder path from you File Explorer
