    Why don't you want to use the "sync option"? It doesn't mean all files are stored locally.

    All other methods are very complex, like using the OneDrive API or uploading files through a web browser.

    thank you for your reply , i used sync option and it works very well but some time i don't know how one drive stop syncing , so that's why i need a alternate method to use one drive.

    Still an issue at the end of 2022. The sync is unable to sync at least once a day, so here I am, trying to find alternative methods.

     

    One thought: have Power Automate Desktop copy/paste the file to the SharePoint folder without syncing it to OneDrive - though, I'm not sure if it'll work...
