Posted on by MIKT

Hello everyone.

I am struggling to make cloud flow for box environment even though currently MS did not focus on upgrade of box connector.

I tried to make a flow to overwrite the same file

[What I want to do by cloud flow]
(A) Once file "csv file name A" is saved on "box folder name a",

(B) Overwrite "csv file name A" on "box folder name b"

I could successfuly perform the flow, However, the contents of "csv file name A" on "box folder name b" are looks broken as attached photo...

Does anybody have similar issue and slove?

Many thanks for your kindness in advance.

HI There,

Use the "Get File Content" step from the Box connector after the file "csv file name A" has been saved to "box folder name a."
If "csv file name A" already exists in "box folder name b" and you want to overwrite it, you may need to delete the existing file before making a new one. Use the Box connector's "Delete File" for this.
Now, use the Box connector's "Create File" action to make "csv file name A" in "box folder name b."
Use the result of the "Get File Content" action as the File Content input for this action.

Please give kudos and mark as solution if it helps.

Thanks,
Sandeep Mishra
