    Hi @N27,


    Can you check a couple of things for you file system connector? 

    - Is the gateway started

    - What is your root folder? 

    - Are you using the domain\username format for the windows credentials?

    Out of interest, are there specific requirements why you are using this solution approach?

     

    Hope this helps a bit?

     

    Normally I would the OneDrive sync app and the known folder move policy for this:
