Copy the file to SharePoint when it is modified in OneDrive (Business) Using Power Automate

25 December 2024

In today's article, I will show you how to Copy the file to SharePoint when it is modified in OneDrive (Business) using Power Automate.

First, we need to have an active M365 subscription and from the home page, we select Power Automate from the apps. On the Power Automate home page, we select Templates from the left menu.

We locate the available template named "Copy the file to SharePoint when it is modified in OneDrive (Business)."

In the next screen, we allow all necessary connections and select continue.

On the automate management page, we encounter the first trigger action of type "when a file is modified" in OneDrive, where we need to specify the folder that we want the automate to affect. We also need to specify whether we want to include subfolders.

The next action is of type "create file on SharePoint," where we need to specify the site of our choice as well as the library or folder where we want the file to be saved. We also need to set the file name and file content from the properties of the initial action. If we do not specify the file type in the file name, we will end up with a file that we cannot open. In this case, I have not specified the type, so I expect it to transfer a file that I will not be able to open.

In the next step, we have an action of type "send email," where we will add the recipient as well as the file name as the subject. In the body of the email, we need to enter the path in SharePoint.
