Using flow to move all files from location A in OneDrive for Business to location B on a schedule

[mills]

I would like to use Flow to move all files from one specific OneDriveFor Business location to another OneDriveForBusiness location on a schedule.

While there is a template to move 'newly created files', I need the file to only be moved on Tuesday.

The existing template immediately removes the file from Location A, and I would like the files to wait in that location.

Does anyone have a suggested setup?

hi @mills  you can schedule your flow.

Hi, ChristianAbata.

Yes, I have used scheduling as a trigger before and that piece is clear. What I'm trying to figure out is how to build the flow to 'pull all existing files in the folder' and move them into another folder. The standard template does that for newly created files one at a time. Something like 'for each' +'get files' ? I am referring to the template called "Move File from One folder to another in OneDrive for business".

Please see my example below and let me know if you have questions.  Substitute a recurrence trigger for my button.

Hi, @ScottShearer 

Thank you so much - that looks great. I created the flow, it runs and completes (sometimes 1 min, sometimes 5 minutes, 6 mall <1mb files now ). However the files are actually not moving. Is there something I am missing?

I suspect that there is an issue with the path in one of the actions.  Can you post a screen shot of your Flow in edit mode?

Thanks, Scott! Here is the result of the flow and the build. I wonder why the flow checks out, while the files remain in original location.

Hi @mills ,

From the screenshots you provided, it seems that the configuration of Flow is correct. You can determine whether the current item is a folder before fetching the contents of the file.

Also, note that the Id configured in the Delete file action needs to come from the List files in folder action.
