Hi @Nikhil Nair

Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

If the process of coping the files is a one-time job, you can use AzCopy

If this is a recurring task you can use an Automation Account with a PowerShell Runbook In this last scenario, if you don't what that the process run at a specific time, you can use a Logic App as a trigger to the Automation Account (Using webhook)

Hope this helps!

@Nikhil Nair Thanks for reaching out. Please share your workflow and configuration. To troubleshoot the issue, I will suggest you to verify that you are passing the content bytes (File content parameter) correctly to your action Create File of your Azure File share connector along with the name and file extension is passed correctly (File name parameter) on your action.

**Note: ** You should pass the binary content.

Simple flow to copy single file from storage to file store:

Copy all the files from storage folder to file store:

The above is just for reference and you can update the workflow as per your business needs along with passing the dynamics values.
