Using Flow with SharePoint Library - file copy executed before file upload is complete

Hi DPapandria

The key indicator as to whether your file has uploaded or not is the file size. Until the upload is complete, the file size will be 0. As soon as it's complete you'll see the actual size. I tested this on a 400MB file.

So I have shaped a Flow to look like the following:

1. Trigger - When a file is created (properties only)
2. Action - Initialise variable: Created a boolean called FileUploaded and a default value of false
3. Control - Do until: FileUploaded = true
   1. Action - Get file metadata (this has to be done each time to ensure that we're looking at a fresh set of data
   2. Condition - If Size (from get file metadata) is not equal to 0
      1. If Yes: Set Variable "FileUploaded" to true
      2. If No: Delay for 10 seconds
4. Action: Move File

See my attached screenshot for an example.

The thing to remember is that the loop will only run through 60 iterations, so ensure that you select your delay to give your file enough time to upload.

Hope this helps.
