How can I copy files from network folder to SharePoint Document Library

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I am trying to synchronize files/folders from our network server directly to a SharePoint Online Document Library, however I don't see an easy way to accomplish this. Am I missing something?

I have a gateway setup on my server, but when I go to create the Flow, I don't see any easy way to copy the files.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Tony

Hi @TonyC109,

I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Choose a proper trigger, here I use Recurrence trigger, synchronize files/folders

Add “List files in folder” action, specify Folder.

Add “Apply to each”, input parameter set to output of “List files in folder” action.

Within “Apply to each”, add “Get file content using path” action, specify File Path.

Add “Create file” action.

Image reference:

The flow works successfully as below:

Besides, you can also create the flow with “Copy new files from your PC to SharePoint” template.

Best regards,

Kris

Hi Kris and thanks for the reply. I will give your workaround a try.

As for using the Template, I have tried that, but it demands a file name and I simply want to copy existing files, not rename them in the new space.

Hi Kris,

I have tried the solution you provided and it failed, however the files did indeed copy over. I haven't had time to revisit, but I should be able to test again shortly.

Thank you!
