Thanks for this - Was looking for a method to transfer data from my onedrive to a specific sharepoint folder - I have never used powerautomate, but this was explained well, so I think I am going to replicate this. Thanks!
Thank you for the video. Very understandable and clearly articulated. My concern is how to move an email with an attachment to various folders in a SharePoint library using Power Automate. We are dealing with 300 different segments (I have accordingly created folders in the library). When we receive emails for these segment-specific cases, we need to convert the emails into PDFs and save them in the respective folders with attachments. Since our subject is always segment-specific, I have been thinking about how to automate this process. Can you provide me with tips on how to achieve this?
Excellent video, but what happen if i have a zip file with 4 or more files. When i uploaded to one drive the flow open but stops the flow because is reading just one file inside. How can i copy/move the entire zip. Thanks!!
Hi I need to see your flow. I could offer a screenshare help. If you up for it please contact me via Teams. See my team email under the Channel about section. Thanks
This content is very useful.. Could you pls also suggest to add a email trigger to this flow. I created tried the similar flow with email trigger after saving the contents to Sharepoint. However, it is sending separate email for each attachment, instead of sending one email with multiple attachment. Pls suggest
Hi Vasanth Thanks for your comment and support. Without seeing the flow its difficult to give you an exact answer. Looks like there is a logic issue there. Could you post this in Power Automate Community and tag me as @abm. I will have a look. powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Forums/ct-p/FL_Comm_Forums Thanks
I have a question? How to copy large files say more than 100mb file to sharepoint from OneDrive? Currently my flow is not working for files which size is more than 50 mb. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Hi Prateek Not sure what you really meant by? Say for example you got a file called Report-10-10-2022.docx. Support you want to retrieve the file every week with the right date you can use the expression concat('Report-'), FormatDateTime(utcNow(), 'dd-MM-yyyy')) Thanks
Hi, thank you for the explanation. I would like data to be saved in a folder. When I create any files or folders on the SharePoint site, they should also be saved in my OneDrive for Business with the same name as the original folder. Please video for this method. Thanks
I need to create a flow that get triggered when I add an excel file in a folder. In a next step, i need to get the data of that file (get table, or list rows). Is it possible to do it dinamically? I mean, the excel files do not have the same name
@@abm4975 WOW! Thanks a lot!!! It really helped me to solve one of the Flows I was trying to develop! The file identifier and the connector 'Create table' were the solution. The other flow I have is very similar, but in this case there is already a table created in the file. How can I dynamically get that table every time I drop the file in OneDrive or Sharepoint?
@@abm4975 Hi, I´ve tried also using the OneDrive trigger "When a file is created"--> Get tables (Location: OneDrive; Document Library: OneDrive); File: here I used the File Identifier dynamic content) and it shows me this error: "Graph API encountered unsupported features in the workbook and was unable to work with it. Please remove the unsupported content and try again". Do you know what could be the reason of this issue? Thanks!

Thank you for the explanation- but I was looking for a method to transfer data folder that is shared to me in shared folder of one drive to specific folder in sharepoint folder, Please do explain as requested it will be very useful and helpful for us in sharing the data folder without downloading and again uploading into the sharepoint, it may save a lot of time and Internet Data too....I will be awaiting for your video
Hi, this is great! :) May I know if there is a way to pull the latest file created in OneDrive and save it into SharePoint - overwriting the current file (ie. current file saved in SharePoint is deleted and replaced with latest file pulled from OneDrive)? Thanks!
Hi, This is a great video! But I have a quick query. How about deleting a file from the onedrive folder which in turn deletes the respective file from the document library? Is there any solution for this using Power automate?
Hi Use the trigger when a file is deleted then capture the filename. Using this filename filter the SharePoint document library using Get Items filter query to find the Id of the file. One you get the Id then delete the file. Thanks
Yes you are correct. So what you could do is read the SharePoint files and look for One drive files exists or not. This way you could determine whether you need to keep the file or delete it?
Nice video. Bro a question. How can i add an action that when a file is created from onedrive i want that the first 7 number of the file name will create a folder (with the 7 number of the file name) in sharepoint and then move the file into the sharepoint (in the created folder)... so exact the steps u mentioned but with the logic to create a folder
I thought you were going to show how to move an existing file to SharePoint - not a new OneDrive file. I want to move several OneDrive folders in their entirety to SharePoint with the sub folders like how they are in OneDrive.

How can I copy the most recent file from a SharePoint folder?
Use the Get Files actions step
Set the Order by > Created desc
Set Top Count > 1
What about modifying a files in a subfolder in onedrive and then it should update the file in the subfolder in sharepoint

I thought you were going to show how to move an existing file to SharePoint - not a new OneDrive file.
I want to move several OneDrive folders in their entirety to SharePoint with the sub folders like how they are in OneDrive.
Hi
What's the subfolder structure in SharePoint? Are these folders are in a document library?
