Copy a File

Copy a file from its current location to a destination of your choice.

This Advanced Command supports copying to the same platform only. For example, you can only copy a file from a location in your local machine to another location in your local machine. Copying files to another platform (such as from local machine to SharePoint) is not supported.

When adding a 'Copy a file' command, you have the option to select either the Local File System or SharePoint Online as the file storage location.

  1. Select Local File System as your file storage location.

  2. Enter the full file path and file name of the file you wish to copy.

  3. Enter the full path of the folder where you want to copy the file to.

  4. Indicate whether you want to overwrite any existing file with the same name in this location.

  5. Expand the Error handling option to provide instructions to the wizard on how to manage encountered errors. For more information on error handling, see Error handling.

You can copy a file stored in your SharePoint Online.

You are advised to use the full path of the document when specifying the location of the SharePoint file (e.g. https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/myDocs/Shared%20Documents/RPA%20info.txt). The shortened link obtained when using the "share link" option (e.g. https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/:t:/s/myDocs/IQDUHp2bRrgbRq-yuzYFnmEfAWqoTUXNb8G0a5DgJ9PTrnY?e=sw3vtJ) is not supported.
