Flow that watches the SharePoint library to download some files not all

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Can somebody please suggest how i can create a flow that would download watch a SharePoint library and download only when file name equals "A" or "B" but not any other file name.

Please help, i have a deadline coming up. I just learnt flow and my boss thinks i can do wonders from him, am optimistic too, but very new to all this. Lol

Hi @Anonymous ,

You could create the flow as screenshot below( The flow would create copy the file to OneDrive when a file is created in library with name A.xlsx or B.xlsx):

@v-alzhan-msft Thanks, i will try this out.

Would you also know a way to download select files A & B from the SharePoint site without specifying the document library path.

The idea is to be able to set a single flow which would run across all document libraries to find files with names "A" or "B".

@v-alzhan-msft 

Please check the test results of flow.

Even when i add a file to the library- the test is failing as the expression result in condition returns "False".

Kindly assist, attaching screenshots

Hi @Anonymous ,

You could add a Compose action before the Condition to save the File name, and you could check from the flow run history to see why it is not match in the Condition.

@v-alzhan-msft I think it is failing because in condition i mentioned that if my files name is "News_4.docx"- download the file on OneDrive.

However, if you see the highlighted portion it is reading my file under File Name as "TmV3c180LmRvY3g=" an dnot as "News_4" that is why it is failing everytime. But- why wouldn't it get the correct file name?

Please help

Hi @Anonymous ,

The file name is encoded.

Please use the When a file is created (properties only) trigger instead, it would works.
