Copying files From Local Folder (Users's download) to Sharepoint folder mapped to local drive

[acerNZ]

Hi Experts,

This is my first flow, seemingly simple but looks lost 

1. I need to copy from Local folder (downloads) specific files totalling 10 

2. Copy to Sharepoint folder

Please can you help me, I tried the following, here are the problems 

1. When I use the File System connector to copy local file, the destination folder is mandatory but destination for me is in sharepoint so I got error so when I add a connector of sharepoint, I am not able to proceed. 

Can you help me with this please

Hi @acerNZ,

Copy file action of File system couldn't support copy files from File system to SharePoint directly.

As a workaround, you could Get files in the folder, then get files content and create files in SharePoint. Please refer to the following steps:

@v-litu-msft Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help 

I think I am doing many mistakes 

1. Not able to give right local folder address 

2. Not able to provide right way the wild card  like abc_Feb_*.xlsx from folder in 1 to be copied to sharepoint 

3. I am making mistake in share point site and 4. share point folder .. 

Please if you can help me correct it .. that will be common and my first lesson .. 

This is my over all flow where you can see, with an example file export*.xlsx potential mistake but  I cannot even move from the first step 

The way I am enter local folder :

1. It is my  C:\users\<mylogin>\Downloads 

2. Get File Content:  I use Name: abc_Feb_*.xlsx

Please can you guide me.

Hi @acerNZ,

The error is saying that gateway couldn't found.

You could reinstall it, and the file system connection should reconfigure:

Install an on-premises data gateway | Microsoft Docs

Solved: Problem connecting to File System in Flow - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

Thank you @v-litu-msft  I have installed the gateway, I still get the error and when I clicked the data, the message says the "Information: Between Friday, February 12, 2021, at 12:39 AM UTC and 06:25 AM UTC, some users may have experienced failures in Flow creation/management in North America region." but I am actually in Australia.
