Create Zip file and then upload to sharepoint

Hello,

 

I am  trying to use Automate desktop to create a zip file, and then upload it to sharepoint for backup purposes.  The zip part is easy, I am getting the date and naming it after the date :

After that I am trying "Create File" for sharepoint but unsure what to put for file content :

If I just point it at the zip it says it needs to be binary, so unsure. I see "get file content" commands but that's for Sharepoint, which it isn't there yet, or One drive, which I am not using, just in a normal folder.

    Nevermind, I saw there was a step to convert to binary
