Microsoft Flow - Copy files from PC to SharePoint - Error

Hello Experts,

We are using the template, "Copy New Files from your PC to SharePoint" for copying any new files which are added to my files system. We cannot rely on OneDrive for business since we want to make the process run without an explicit login to the machine.

Part of process, we had done following steps as part of the process.

Installed Data Dateway (https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/gateway-reference/)
Configured in one of the On-premises server where we want the files to copied to SharePoint Online
Configuration was successfull and added the connection in Flow and saved the flow.
Addition of new files are getting identified by Flow.
But we are getting an error "Bad Request".
When we see the output, we are getting Status 400 and error message as "A value must be provided for folder identifier."
We are not sure where are we going wrong.
Adding the screenshots as well for the reference.

Any leads would highly be appreicated.

Thanks in advance,

  Thanks for the response Andrew. Had been wondering where I was going wrong.
  I think your question is not answered in that same thread which you had shared. The reply was suggestiong to OneDrive to Sync one drop-off library kind of setup and then trigger a workflow in that library which will push to your actual destination library. It may work in yours but not in my requirement atleast.
  What I was looking for is an unattended set-up for synchronizing files automatically without any manual intervention and this seemed to be an optimum solution. Now I may have to go to old-school, which is custom-.scripting.
  Thanks anyways for the update.
  
  Arjun.

    Hi Arjun Menon
    
    I agree didnt really get an answer that helped.
    
    If Microsoft have removed this functionality it would be interesting to understand why.
