Hi all,
Currently I have flow that takes attachments from emails in a mailbox, moves them to Sharepoint and puts them in a folder based on the email subject and a sub-folder based on the month.
Therefore they are currently in a Sharepoint library with the structure - Reports\Client Names\Month.
All of the Client names are unique - I wish to now move the month folders to yearly folders without impacting the client name to have the structure Reports\Client Names\Year\Month.
I can edit the original flow to put new email attachments in Yearly/Month folders but I'm not sure if I can move the existing folders as how can I identify the correct folders as all of the Client Names folders are unique and cannot be changed?
Sorry - a bit long winded - hope that is clear enough!
Thanks,
Steven
Hi,
Thanks for this - I've been thinking of trying to do it another way using my existing flow to only move the folders when a new report sheet comes in as I could use the paths below to move. I know that this would only move them when the report for that folder is received. (I've just added "Year" in the path now)
What do you think would be the best flow to move all of these folders? I could use the "Move Folder" flow but would I need some code as there are folders for each month?
@stevendunlop , you have two ways to achieve this
1. by using Flow or
2. using powershell.
1. Using Instant or Scheduled flow you can create a Year folder in the "Reports\Client Names\" and then move the Folder contents (Month) to "Reports\Client Names\Year\". Refer the below links for that

2. Using PowerShell will be faster but you need to know how to code. For which you can have the file paths in excel file and use it as source or even you just hardcode it in the script.
Please accept it as a solution and give thumbs up, If it works for you.
