Flow: SharePoint Library sync
- Nov 18, 2019
Hi simsbsims,
You can "kind of" sync files between sites and document libraries but there are caveats. You will need a Flow to create/update and another to delete. It's important to note that a manual initial sync will need to be completed.
Here is an example create/update Flow:
Here is an example delete Flow:
I hope this helps.

- hiivanNov 04, 2021Copper ContributorMay I understand further, what is manual initial sync? Thanks

hiivan I assume that Norman Young means you would need to manually copy the files the first time.

hi there,
just wonder in the step 2 of the delete file flow, how do we know the ID you get from the source document is same as the destination document ?
Thanks
Nick

Thanks Norman Young I have been struggling with this one for way longer than I should have. I could only find somewhat complicated explanations, this is so simple I don't know why it was so hard to find this info.
One thing I will add is the delete function in your explanation only works when you are using two seperate sites (I was using one test site and it didn't work, switched to two and it works great).
