Power Automate (MS Flow) Tutorial - Copy Files from one SharePoint library to another

This is a better version of the previously existing video with better video quality.
Automating the process of copying files from source to destination libraries in Sharepoint can be simplified by using Microsoft Power Automate.

MS Power Automate provides an 'n' number of templates to implement this. In this video, I have used 2 triggers to automate 2 different copy files scenarios.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 1 - Copy Files at the same level folder libraries
Scenario 2 - Copy files between different level folder hierarchical libraries
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First time on your channel. Great detailed videos! I have the following issue: Rather than syncing from a 'Selected File' I'm trying to sync/copy new files added to a folder in a different level than level 1. Say, I'd like to sync new files added to a level 2 or 3 folder to be copied into another level 3 (sub-folder) in SharePoint. I'm using the "When a file is created (properties only)" trigger but it only shows one level folder to choose for the 'Library Name' field.

The SharePoint folder I want to sync files from into another SharePoint folder is on a deeper level than that first folder shown on the options seen on the 'Library Name'. I need to sync new files added to a third-level folder not to a level one folder source.

Could you please show, perhaps, another video of the process I outlined above? If you have a video already for this syncing flow, please share the web link to it.


Thanks for the detailed video and help! I am looking forward to more of your videos.

Nicely explained.
I am working on something similar but am not able to crack it.
I need to move files with specific names to specific folders. Files starting with A in Folder A, files starting with B in Folder B and so on.
It would be great if you could provide some inputs on this.

I just tried your MultiLevelFileCopy solution and the COPY command with ID fails. Is this something that changed since you posted this video? I get an error Failed to verify the existence of source object at... the system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002). Of course, the file is a NUMBER referencing the document.
