Is that posible to execute a robocopy script from a Power Automate flow ?

Question

Hi. I need to synchronize a sharepoint list (documents) folders and files content to OneDrive for Business, I´ve tried using the Power Automate templates but it´s not working when the file is placed in a subfolder. I can do it uring robocopy but in the local computer, this is why I´m looking for an alternative to execute it from the Power Automate or another posible solution. Thanks for comment.

@Paulo Ribeiro ,

Based on your description, try as following:

In this flow, wherever you modified the file in the library, it will be copied to root folder of OneDrive for Business.

@Paulo Ribeiro ,

We cannot execute a robocopy script from a Power Automate flow.

As a workaround, we could manually copy library files (including those in subfolders) to one drive for business, use OOB function "Copy to" to achieve this.
