How to move files between folders in OneDrive for Business

 

I have a lot of files in a folder in OneDrive for Business. I'm trying to organize them using Flow. How should I do this? There are a few ways I would like to do it. 

 

Manually Trigger a Flow

Identify files created within a certain date to be organised into Folders in OneDrive for Business

For example:

- Files created from 01 January 2022 to 31 March 2022 to be in Folder 1

- Files created from 01 April 2022 to 30 June 2022 to be in Folder 2

 

Manually Trigger a Flow

Identify files create with a specific word organised into Folders

- Files with the word "Report" to be in Folder "Reports".

 

 

Grateful for any advice for me, thanks!

Hi @superbackhand ,

Do you want to classify files in Onedrive?
We can use the list files in a folder action to get the following file information.
Then we can classify them with switch action.

I made a test for your reference.
In my scenario I classify by file extension.

split(item()?['Name'],'.')[1]

@superbackhand  i havent done this before but you can try using Find files in folder action https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/connectors/onedriveforbusiness/#find-files-in-folder as starting point to find files with your query parameter.
