Are you sharing the Desktop flow with another user, or needing to have the flow run, for your own use, on a different PC? If you're needing to share with another user, you should be able to do so within the Power Automate online service - make.powerautomate.com -> sign in. If you're needing it for your own use, you should be able to access it by signing into the machine, and then to Power Automate desktop with your login, and then the flow should appear

Yes, Power Automate Desktop (PAD) flows can be moved from one PC to another. There are several supported methods depending on whether the flow is local or cloud-synced.

Thanks to everyone for the help.

I need it for my own use, and the flow is local.

I created and tested a flow and now i would like to transfer it to another PC (which is less busy) to do the job.

Thank you

HI @CU30061450-0,

A simple copy (copy all actions doing a Cntrl+ a and then Cntrl + c ) of all actions of the flow and pasting (Cntrl + v) it in a text file can serve your requirement (you can move this file to another machine and open PAD designer create a new flow and copy and paste all the contents from the text file. But sometimes it creates problem that takes time to address. However, solution based approch is good for the same purpose.

You can follow this vide link. I would suggest please watch it from start to end but at 3 min : 50 sec is the chunk you need.
