I am trying to move a file on my desktop to my OneDrive folder (the folder is a Sharepoint folder, synchronised with OneDrive)

but when i tried to set the control, I don't see any possibilities to select my Onedrive folder... (this is what i see when i select "Dossier de destination) :

i looked at the other controls but i don't see another one which i could use.

thank you!

Have you tried using Sharepoint activities instead?

@Anonymous In PAD there are no activities that supports direct file upload to one drive.
You need to use the SharePoint activities to create a file

Steps:
1. Use convert file to Binary Data action and pass your file path and store the binary data in a variable
2. Use Create File from sharepoint connector and configure as below.
You need to pass site name, folder name, file name and file contents variable from step 1.

I tried with this and able to upload the file successfully.

The OneDrive/SharePoint directory that you sync via the OneDrive app locally will be under C:\users.

Try to simply open the directory in Windows explorer, copy the path and paste it into the PAD action, if you don't know how to find it via this menu.
