    Hi EXTERNAL Eswaraiah Devara (Apexon, SO/OPM26-IN),

    Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    To loop through all folders and subfolders in SharePoint, you can use Power Automate (formerly known as Microsoft Flow). Here’s a step-by-step approach:

    Step-by-Step Points

    Set Up Flow:

    Go to Power Automate > Create > Automated Flow.

    Choose a trigger (e.g., When an item is created or When a file is created).

    Get Folder Metadata:

    Add the Get Folder Metadata action.

    Set it to the root folder in the desired document library.

    List Folder:

    Add the List Folder action.

    Configure it with your site address and the folder path.

    Loop Through Items:

    Add an Apply to Each action using the output from the List Folder.

    Inside this loop, add a Condition to check if the item is a folder.

    Recursive Action:

    If true (it's a folder), call List Folder again for the folder’s path.

    Process Data:

    Log or process folder and subfolder paths as needed (e.g., send emails, store in a database).

    Kindly refer to the screenshots below.
