    Hi @Miccal,

     

    Do you want to copy the file from Dropbox to OneDrive when a file is created in Dropbox?

    Or copy all files of a specific folder in Dropbox to a specific folder in OneDrive?

    1. If you want to achieve the first one, you can create a flow using Copy files between OneDrive and Dropbox template and make some changes as below:2.jpg
    2.  If you want to achieve second, you can take a try with the following workaround:
    • Add a proper trigger, here I use Flow button trigger.
    • Add “List files in folder”, configure Folder to a specific folder of Dropbox.
    • Add a “Apply to each”, output set to Body content of “List files in folder” action.
    • Add “Get file content” action, File set to following formula:
    Item()?[‘Id’]
    • Add “Create file” action, Folder Path set to a specific folder of OneDrive, File Name set to following formula:
    Item()?[‘Name’]

    File Content set to output of “Get file content” action.

    Kris,

    Successfully implemented the flow you descirbed.  Can you tell me how to enhance it to allow for sub-folders with files also?

    Thanks
