      1. Try testing Zap step 13 again to use a fresh file object in your test for Zap step 14

I have reviewed these instructions and I still can’t seem to figure it out. One thing I saw in someone else’s post is something about the file needing to be a public accessible file? Is this true? This wouldn’t make sense to me if I can find a file in a folder but I can’t move it to another folder in the same directory unless the file is a public accessible file. 

Additionally, I was able to use the Move A File Action on this file. I don’t understand why I can’t copy a file and move it.  

@Jstimac 

File Not Found means the file object was no longer accessible.

File objects in Zaps are temp files that expire after 1 hour.

Make sure to test Zap step 13 before testing Zap step 14.

Retested Step 13

Step 13:

Step 14:

Step 13 is telling me it finds the file. But Step 14 is giving me a 404 file not found error.

You may have to try process of elimination.

In many drive apps, a folder is a type of file.

Try using a static folder selection to help you determine if the issue is the Folder field or the File field.

I figured out how to do this using Microsoft Power Automate. It’s much better too since I can copy an entire existing folder and all of it’s contents from one location to another. 

Hi @Jstimac,

We appreciate you sharing your resolution to this issue. This will greatly help our community members when encountering the same issue.

I’m facing a similar issue but the marked solution is to move away from Zapier and use power automate instead. Is that the solution Zapier is proposing?

Hi ​@iamharish,

Before we dig deeper into this, would you mind sharing a detailed screenshot of how your Zap is configured? Also, please share a screenshot of the “CONFIGURE” section of the Microsoft Sharepoint action step that shows all of its fields.

Please don't include personal information in the screenshot, or be sure blur out any personal information.

Thanks!
