@Vineet S
Thank you for the question and for using Microsoft Q&A platform.
To copy files that were modified in the last 2 hours from a folder using the Copy Activity in Azure Data Factory, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a pipeline in Azure Data Factory and add Copy Data to the canvas.
2. Configure the source dataset to point to your Blob Storage container.
3. Use a 'Wildcard folder path' to select files. You can use a dynamic content expression to filter files based on their last modified time.
   Set the start time as:

@addhours(utcNow(),-2)

4. Configure the sink dataset to point to the destination Blob Storage container.
