Copy a File from a Network Drive to OneDrive Folder

Hello,

 

I was hoping someone could give me guidance on how to build a flow (or suggest another means) that will copy a specific file, once it is added, from a Network Folder to my OneDrive folder.   I am still new and know that my flow is incorrect so that is where I am hoping you can show me the correct way to build this and help me learn.

 

First, the error.  It seems like the connection I created is working properly and then the flow seeks to validate the Condition.  This is what I am receiving:

Here is what my flow looks like:

It fails at the Condition because I have entered "Id" for the File.  I wasn't sure what to use.

Here are the options available to me under Get File Content.  If the "ID" is incorrect, what should I use?

For reference, the files in the Network folder look like the screenshot below.  As you can see, the file names have a static portion followed by a dynamic portion for the date.  Only providing this if it is helpful.

    Thanks!  Does that mean I need to select body/FileLocator?

    The file input of Get file content requires a path to the file.
