Hello,

i am currently trying to copy Files, which our cusotmers put into a OneDrive Folder, into a internal Sharepoint Folder but the automations always seems to fail.

The automation looks like this.

When a file is created (OneDrive) -> Copy file (Sharepoint)

Power Automate will recognize files when i put them into the OneDrive folder but wont copy them over to Sharepoint. Here are the exact inputs i put for the Copy to Sharepoint.

Current Side Adress -> The OneDrive Folder where customers can put there Files

File to copy -> File Identifier

Destination Site Adress -> The Site i want the Files to end up in via the drop down menu

Destination Folder -> The folder i want the files in

If another filde is already there? -> Copy with new name

The problem always seems to be "The response is not in a JSON format."

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Best regards

Luca

Hello, this might be caused by your SharePoint Site URL, for example:

:f:/r/ or something similar.

Could you please share your SharePoint site adress (But blurr the part before .SharePoint.com for your privacy.)

here is a flow and tested, it brought over an Excel file without issues.

start with the trigger when a file is created in OneDrive.

second is Get File Content, i used File Identifier.

Then last is create file. i used the the file name from the Trigger and the File Content from the Get file content step.

everything worked for the test i ran. took about 5 mins to build.

it looks like your third step is Data Copy (Datai Kopieren) vs File Create.

Can you change your third step to File Create (File machen) oder bauen not sure exact term would be.

Then give it a go. here is how it looks

File Name
I use the same file name as the trigger name.

File Content - i use from previous step get file content.
body(Get_file_content)
