I'am new to power app and need a solution which will copy files from a network drive which has multiple one main folder with 20 subfolder with files.

I need to loop thru the folders and copy then over to a SharePoint folder located in the document directory.

The filed will be loaded ever check every few months. below is what I am thinking I need, but cannot developed the loop. I need a example of. I already have my gateway connection created and working

1. When a file is created or Modified'

2. Use the "List files in folder" action for the main folder to get a list of files and subfolders.
Apply to Each:

3. Add an "Apply to Each" loop to iterate through each file or subfolder obtained in the previous step.

4. Create file on Shared point

Three suggestions

1) Make the process of listing the files in a folder and copying them a child flow. That way you can call the child flow when you load the root folder, but then have the child flow call itself to do the next level. That lets you implement the copy recursively so you don't need to know how many subfolders you have.

2) Be aware that to do this you will need an on-premises gateway and a Premium license.

3) Make use of parallelism in the Apply to Each loop and avoid the use of Variables to improve performance.
