Copy File from On-Prem to SharePoint Online

Hi ​@rcostillas,

Unfortunately, no out-of-the-box action can copy a file and metadata from a library.
The closest thing is a Get Attachments action to retrieve attachments from a list item.

Users have been able to develop their own solutions, including backend applications they call via an API through Nintex Gateway.
 

Thanks again, Simon, for your response. I’ve been reviewing whether the Office 365 Create List Item or Document Set functionality is still supported. Based on the documentation I found, it suggests that these could be used to copy files within the SharePoint online.

However, I haven’t been able to enable or use this feature. Could you confirm if this action is still available? Our current process for copying files between libraries is still working, but only within the same tenant (on-prem).

I’m also unsure, if the “Get Attachments” action is applicable in this case. My requirement is to copy files between libraries based on specific conditions, but this time from an on-premises environment to SharePoint online. Hope you could enlighten me please.

Hi ​@rcostillas,

You need to treat your on-premises and Online environments as two separate environments.
You will first have to retrieve the file from on-premise (currently not possible out of the box) and then use the store a file action to add it to online. There is no direct copy from on-premise to online.
