This was really useful, thanks! Been looking for a real work example to fix a real world problem of legacy applications not being able to save out reports direct to sharepoint, and having this workflow is really good.

Do you have a solution to copy/export newly created folders and subfolders from a network drive to Sharepoint? This only copies files, not folders

[clifffernandes]

Thanks would you use this method to transfer thousands of folders files from sftp drive to SharePoint?

Hello, thank you for the helpful video. Does this solution require premium PA? When I click "data" then "Gateways" on the power automate home sidebar, I am prompted with a premium account required- but I'm not sure if this is needed.

Thanks... I understand this is an old post, is there a workaround to deal with files greater than 100MB? this is failing anything beyond 30MB

[umasravanthi]

with the File system connector can we create a file which is from sharepoint in to our local folder
and can we read it from Power automate desktop in later part??

Hi, thank you very much for the video, this is great. Just a quick question regarding the gateway, do I just select 'New on-premises data gateway' and then it will generate a name like yours in the video? Or how do I name the gateway? I'm unsure if a gateway is already setup?

Thanks in advance.

What if I’m trying to get files from a NAS(Network-Attached Storage? Will this still work?

Thanks for the video, but here i want to ask what if we have unique file name with changing date and time (i.e. testdoc202405041746.txt). With PowerShell we are able to copy such file after putting testdoc*.txt, but how can we copy this from on premises file server to SharePoint. Appreciated if you can help on this.
