ADF Mapping Data Flow Issue Copying the file to a File System.....

Question

Hi @MarkKromer-MSFT @Nasreen Akter @MartinJaffer-MSFT

This is associated with my last question. How using Mapping Data Flows can you save the output file to a File System. I tried and got some error (sorry I didnt' save it). But I tried using a Copy Activity after the Data Flow and am getting some issues. If I could just copy the DataFlow Output file to a Network Drive Folder using Data Flows it would be perfect.
Thanks again! I appreciate all your help!
