    Hi Bazouzou, you have to first use lookup activity to read through the metadata and get file names iteratively from ForEach activity then pass inputs in to GetMetaData activity. Thanks

    Hi Hi Bazouzou, the Copy and GetMetaData activity would not give file path directly.

    Please go through below post , for the possible workarounds:
