Uploading file to Azure BLOB Container

[Donzera]

Hi, 

I am new with Power automate, and I would like to know if there is a way to upload files, which is store in my local computer, NOT SharePoint nor one drive, local machine("C:/folder1/folder2"), using a flow on Power Automate. I couldn't find anything related to that, than I was just asking myself if this is something that we can do with Power Automate. If yes, how can I do that?
It seems that anything you Google related to that has either SharePoint or OneDrive, and I don't want that.

Thanks.

Hey @Donzera 

To access local files, you will have to use power automate desktop. 

You can do the following things:

1) Make a UI Flow.

With this use list files in a folder action. It will just take all the files from the folder. Then you can start the UI Flow in which it will go to your azure account and then just upload the current file one by one with a loop. 

Video for UI Flow:

2) You can create a json structure of the file(No idea how to do it), then with a http call send it to power automate cloud flow. There will be a cloud flow with the trigger, when a http request is received. This flow will be triggered by Power Automate Desktop. And you will get the file. And after this you can just store it in azure blob storage with the connector. 

3) Use Sharepoint Connector in Power Automate Desktop:

Using create file action, just create a file in sharepoint. 

Then make a cloud flow as when a file is added as trigger. This will be invoked when the above desktop flow, uploads a file in sharepoint, then you can use get file content action to fetch the file content and store it in azure blob storage, and if you want, you can delete the file from sharepoint after that.
