When trying to copy a folder ("File copy" / "Bestanden kopiëren") from a netwerkshare to a folder on my desktop I get an error: "file can not be copied"

and "entrance/entry refused". There is some notice about "overwrite" as well but i selected "do nothing" at "if file exists"

How do i solve this?

Complete error message (in dutch) is:

" Toegang tot het pad G:\Overleg Incidenteel is geweigerd.: Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Robin.SDK.ActionException: Kan bestand G:\Overleg Incidenteel niet kopiëren naar F:\ONE+SHP\S\S-G-Schijf - Documenten\Overleg Incidenteel ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Toegang tot het pad G:\Overleg Incidenteel is geweigerd.

As far as I can translate your ducth, it tells you that you or the user dont have access to G:\Talk. (Google translate 😊)

If you are running this script in unattended mode, please make sure that the user, running the script have access to G:\Talk

Yes that is my conclusion as well. However, on the real desktop i can open both folders without any problems. So in Powerautomate DESKTOP it should work as on my desktop... But that is apparently not the case.
How do i proceed?

1) You can list the files in directory g:\talk using a file-explorer - right?
2) You start PAD using the same credentials, used to logon to the machine - right?
Can you list the content of the folder (G:\Yourpathhere) using "get files in folder" from Pad?

Hi Highboy, It is possible to list G: with "Bestanden in de map ophalen" (get files in folder) from Powerautomate desktop (PAD) but it takes a verry long time. When i use a subdirectory (less files) i get the output in "(x) files". So this is possible.

.. it is also possible to write the "(x)files" output to the "F:\ONE+SHP\S\S-G-Schijf - Documenten\Overleg Incidenteel".
I wonder what is the difference with the direct approach (so without the "(x) files in between" but for now this works. However the solution is not complete.

The g:\talk has a lot of (sub)(..)(sub)directories i need to copy - better synchronize - the both directory structure and the files in it.
When i use "get files in folder" and i use "bestanden kopiëren" (file copy) i get al the files in one directory. They need to be placed in there own subdirectory. I suppose i have to do this with "Map kopiëren" (copy folder). This seems to work as well. So the remaining issue is the synchronization of the to folders. How do i arrange this with power automate desktop?
