Move data from onedrive to a sharepoint folder

 Have a situation where files are coming into a onedrive folder and they are wanted to be moved to a different folder in sharepoint.

Using PowerAutomate for this

In the source onedrive folder, "Create a flow"

Automate -> Power Automate -> Create a flow


You should see some flows appear that are common


Click on "See your flows" 

Then on the next screen that will come up, select "NEW FLOW" - Template


Look for "Move file from OneDrive for Business to Sharepoint and notify me


Make sure you are checkbox for the 3 items at the bottom and click on CONTINUE


You'll see this show up on your screen.



Click on "When a file is created"

In "Folder" section, click on the folder icon then select the folder that you want PowerAutomate to monitor.   In this example, we are looking at recordings


Click on "CREATE FILE"

In the "Site Address" put in the url for your sharepoint site.


If you have permissions to view the site
click on "FOLDER PATH" and the options should show up to where you can put it




Now click on SAVE

You can now TEST your script.  Click on TEST



Click on SAVE and TEST

Your system is now monitoring.  Drop a file into your onedrive and you should see it pretty quickly show up in the Sharepoint location

If everything is setup correctly, you should be good to go!  Powerautomate runs about every 5 minutes automatically.
