Copy Folder

This activity is used to copy a folder from one location to another specified location even if the folder is in read-only format. We can also copy a file from a shared folder, granted we have access to it.

Properties

INPUT

From:* Indicates to specify the path in which the folder to be copied is located. You have the option to either hardcode the values in the “String” variable or pass the values as “String” datatype. This accepts only the “String” datatype.

IncludeSubfolder: Check this box if the sub folders within the folders must be copied. If this box is left unchecked, only the files in the folder are copied to the given location and the folders inside this folder are not copied. By default, it is unchecked.

OverWrite: Check this box if you want to overwrite a file, if it is already available in the path that you have chosen.
By default, it is unchecked. This means if the zipped file which we are trying to save to location is already available there, it wouldn’t get saved in that location.

To:* Specify the file path to where the selected file needs to be pasted. You can also select the file manually by selecting the three dots adjacent to the activity. This accepts only “String” datatype.
