Hi,

I hope someone can help me with creating this flow. I have found 2 similar articles but no solution given:

Moving a SharePoint Folder to Azure Blob Storage - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
Moving a sharepoint folder - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

I have the exact same issue of SharePoint users moving folders that needs to be moved to blob storage.

I have used the template flow to set up moving files to Azure storage, and this works perfectly. However, I cannot seem to find a way to move folders to Azure. The folder structure is quite important as there will be a few files within each folder.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @tjyoungest,

Can you share a screenshot of one of your loops and specifically the input of Create blob (v2) action?

Interesting to see an example of a folder which was retrieved from that get files (properties only) action and which was not working in setup.

Btw, I was using a Get File Content in the Blob Content field and not the file properties of the current item.

Hi @Expiscornovus,

I also am having the same issue and when I follow your steps it works great but doesn't create subfolders in my blob storage account. Here's my current flow, am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hi @NJDK,

You can use the Folder Path in the Blob Name, if you use it over there it will create the folders within your container.

Below is an example

1. The Blob Name field contains the Folder Path and File Name with Extension fields

2. The blob gets successfully created in the container selected in the Folder path

3. The folders within the container also get created
