Possible to copy or move folders and subfolder with workflow?

Hello,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to create a workflow that can copy or move a folder and its content (subfolders or files) from one document library to another one? 

 

I read that in MS Flow it's not possible yet, but was wondering if using Sharepoint Designer to create a workflow it could be done.

 

Thanks in advanced!

    Hi,
     
    You can move SharePoint folders and subfolders in Microsoft Flow with the help of https://plumsail.com/actions/.
     
    It has https://plumsail.com/docs/actions/v1.x/flow/actions/sharepoint-processing.html connector that provides a set of actions for SharePoint management, including moving folders cross-site.
     
    Please review https://plumsail.com/docs/actions/v1.x/flow/how-tos/sharepoint/create-copy-move-remove-folders-cross-site.html.

    You might need to rephrase your question :-): Is it possible to move / copy folders using REST? If the answer is yes, then you could do the same in a SPO native workflow

      Well I don't know the answer to that either. Is it possible then?
