Copy files from sharepoint to Blob, am i doing things correctly

john john Pter 1,325

I want to use Power Automate to move old files from SharePoint to Blob. but i have this concern, in SharePoint we can have the same file name and type under different folders, but in Blob case, we do not have folders,,, so how i can move 2 files which have the same name/type that are under 2 different SharePoint folders inside the same blob?

I tried this approach, where i created a test SharePoint library named "bnbn", and i create a blob container named "archive".

after that i wrote this power automate flow which loop through the SharePoint files, get their path, and replace "bnbn" with "archive" inside the Path, as follow:-

this seems to move the SharePoint files and folder correctly. so am i doing things correctly; ?

here is the SharePoint document library root folder:-

and here is the blob "archive" container:-

Hi @john john Pter,

Thanks for reaching out on Microsoft Q&A forum.

Handling duplicate file names when moving from SharePoint to Azure Blob Storage can be tricky since Blob containers are flat and don’t support folders in the same way SharePoint does.

For detailed guidance and best practices on Power Automate I recommend posting your question in the Microsoft Power Platform Community.

Thanks,

Thanmayi
