Copy folders with content from OneDrive/SharePoint to FileSystem.

[Anonymous]

Hello. 

I recently discovered Power Automate and came across this question. Is there any way to copy a folder with all its subfolders and files from OneDrive\SharePoint to FileSystem?

For example I have Master Folder that contains subfolder with subfolders and files. Something like this: MasterFolder > Subfolder > Subfolder1, Subfolder2, Subfolder3. I need copy Subfolder with its Subfolders from Master Folder to another folder on File System.

Why not just use the OneDrive for Business system sync client?

With that said, you may review the OneDrive for Business connector documentation for a full list of the capabilities. To store files locally via the file system you'd have to utilize the On-Premises Data Gateway. You could then utilize the File System connector for saving to local system files.

Everything you wrote is relevant for copying files. And I need to copy the folder structure with the files inside these folders.

There are several actions on the OneDrive and SharePoint connectors that gives you the directory names. You could then create variables for those returned attributes and parse those in to new file create actions. See:

• Add a condition to a flow - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs
• Understand data operations - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs
• Use expressions with conditions. - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs
• Reference guide for functions in expressions - Azure Logic Apps | Microsoft Docs
• Filter and copy data - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

If you could provide an expanded screenshot of your Flow and steps, your Flow run history, and of any detailed error messages you're receiving we could likely better assist you. Also, for the best results, you may want to review How to write a good forum post.
