Hi!

So I am trying to copy files with some property columns into another library but its hard to get. The thing is I created this flow:

It creates a file getting content from a file in another library, but when running, the error says "Resource not found":

What can I do?

Hi @Tomac!

So how does the copy file action goes? First time using it.

First of all, it doesn't get the link of the sharepoint on premise.

And the file to copy gets the file content from the get file content using path.

When you say properties means the Content of the attachment or the column properties of the file that I want to copy?

You won't need to use the Get File Content action, the Copy File action handles all of that on the back end. So your whole flow would look like this:
