How to use:
- Drag and drop the "Copy File" activity onto the workflow.
- Configure the properties by specifying the source file path, destination folder, and optionally set a delay.
- Place the "Copy File" activity within a "Google Drive Scope" to ensure proper authentication and access to the Google Drive service.
- Execute the workflow to copy the specified file to the designated folder on Google Drive.
Example: Consider an example where the "Copy File" activity is used to copy a file named "document.xlsx" from the "Root\CopyFileFrom" folder to the "Root\DestinationFolder" on Google Drive:
Copy File:
Delay: 1
Source File Path: "Root\\CopyFileFrom\\document.xlsx"
Destination Folder: "Root\\DestinationFolder"
Result: isCopySuccessful
In this example, the activity copies the "document.xlsx" file from the source folder to the destination folder on Google Drive. The result of the operation (success or failure) is stored in the Boolean variable "isCopySuccessful" for further handling in the workflow.
