Copy files from one SharePoint library to other with content types and metadata using Power Automate 

You are an EXCELLENT teacher! Many thanks!

Thank you much appreciated for your effort keep up the good work

can you please tell more about sharepoint content ipob? @1:41

Another good one, Ali! I enjoy learning from your explanation. Thanks Millions.

Could you please create a video for copying folders and sub folders along with files in it to another sharepoint

Thanks for sharing ❤

Thank you for this information. You have helped me so much on my learning journey. I have a situation where a site document has been shared with me on a sharepoint outside of my organization. I can't seem to get it to show up with the sharepoint connector or the http connector (using get). I think the problem is that I'm not in the right environment, but I don't have the outside environment as an option. Any ideas on how to resolve. I'd am grateful for any help! All I'm trying to do is take the contents from the file (updated daily) and inform CDS entities with the info. If I can't do it with regular Power Automate I'll have to try RPA.

Thanks for the video. As this is a copy will it also handle version control and copy across version history of the documents? I ask because the native copy function in SharePoint online via a browser doesn't support version history, only Move does. Thanks

Is the copy file process essentially the same for OneDrive? I haven’t tried copy file yet but I did try get file content and create file and used it but I’m not sure that the identifier I used for the create file step was correct. I used ID and got inconsistent results for the file that was created.

Thank you very much for your videos! Helps a lot! And are crystal clear!

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Just one question, can the "Destination Folder" be dynamic, so the user can use folder ID for example?

Thanks for the video. I hit the thumbs up. Do you know any additional steps I can take to ensure that the columns and all the meta data transfer over? I was able to copy the files, but some columns copied over with empty fields. Thank you.

What happens if i need version control after copying ?

Thanks for sharing this knowledge. Could you help me in this? I want to create a work flow that will accept a list of files from the user then move them to another folder. Is there any way to automate ?

Thanks for the video, I have followed the instructions step by step multiple times over and yet still not getting the metadata to carry over - any advice / help?

Could you modify this flow so that deletions in lib 1 are also deleted in Lib 2 ?

Hello, thank you for your video. My problem is when a send an email with power automate, I want to return the name of parent folder which contains the file...For exemple I have folder /F inside of this folder a have files with pdf format A, B, C.... and when I send the mail I add "path" and he return me F/A.pdf , but I want he return me juste the link to open the folder F and not the path to the file. Thank you

Thanks for the video, it really helps but what about keeping the Created, Modified, Created By and Modified By metadata properties. Is it possible also to achieve with this?

Hi Ali .. great stuff . Do you have any video where you move the files from one sharepoint library to another library along with a nested folder based on the last modified date?

Hello, thank you for this video. I ran the flow to copy from one SharePoint site to a different SharePoint site. The files copied across, but not the additional columns containing metadata. More specifically when I go to modify the current view in destination folder, I don't see those column names where the metadata is supposed to be stored. Please note I did nothing regarding content types, because in the source library it only show the Document content type, same as in the destination library. Did anyone else encounter the same problem?

Hi Ali, Nice Tutorial. We have 600 files in the library and the flow timed out after a few files.. any suggestions?

Another good one, Ali! Haven’t heard from you for a while... have you been busy with PowerApps course😉?

Great video. Thank you for making it. I need a little help please. I have content types / managed meta data. Using manual trigger, I created a flow to copy a single file from one collection to another. 99% is working. The only part that is not, is that the content types seem to be out of sync. For sake of discussion, it's like the ID's don't align. Generically speaking, It appears on the backend 1 = Document 2 = Picture 3 = Audio. 4 = Tree On the other collection, while the same, the order is different. 1 = Picture 2 = Audio 3 = Tree 4 = Document. . So when the copy completes, all of the meta data is good, however the content type column displays the wrong Content Type. Any suggestions? (PS, I also checked the physical sort order... they are identical as to how they are displayed. Changing has no impact.) In my Get File Properties, it displays the correct ID/Name, but in the update, the ID and name are different. It is off by 1. I've also tried adding a compose, and adding the output, but it spins and spins and times out.

Hi, Can you please tell me how to copy an exe file from one pc to another whilst keeping all it's data? I'm trying to download a Free video editing program from this pc to another that doesn't do internet connection, but when I copy and paste to a flash drive it says " do you want to copy this file without all it's components" which basically means it won't work on the other pc. I figure there must be a way round this? Thanks Gary

Hello the copy file SharePoint connector only created a new file in the destination folder that's why metadata like created would not pick when the file was created

Will this continue to copy all files from one library to the other (each time a new file is uploaded)?

My client has just over 100,000 files. I need to copy them to my Sharepoint library classified by folders. I am working with Power Automate, but I have doubts about its limits. Is this the best option? To copy this large number of files, what do you recommend?

What if on Lib 1 and Lib 2 you have a column called "Status". How can you also update the new file with the same value the Status column had in Lib 1?

Hi, How can we copy files from sharepoint library to ftp?

Excel document to?

How can i check If the document exist before copy?

Instead of copying how do we create file in one drive? Unable to get contents
