Does Flow only work with SharePoint online?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I'm working with a team who are trying to move files from one sharepoint folder to another sharepoint sites folder but are not having any success. I am wondering if its because their sharepoint sites are not online sites, would this cause issue? E.g. does Flow only speak to SharePoint online?

    Also would there be any permission issues - if they are trying to build the flow to a site they are only a member would this be an issues? 

     

    Anyone had any other similar experiences?

    Hi @Anonymous 

    If you are looking to access SharePoint On-Premises you would need an "on-premises data gateway"

    More information here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/flow/gateway-reference

     

    Regards "if they are trying to build the flow to a site they are only a member would this be an issues". It would depend on what the flow does. If it were reading, it may be ok but your permissions on any SP site, library or list in the most would need to be in line with the request from Flow.
