Example:
Consider an example where the "Upload File" activity is used to upload a file named "uploadfile.xlsx" from a local drive to a folder within OneDrive:
Upload File:
Display Name: "Upload Excel File"
Source Path: "C:\UploadFile\uploadfile.xlsx"
Destination Path: "/Documents/ExcelFiles/"
Overwrite: true
Result: isUploadSuccessful
In this example, the activity uploads the "uploadfile.xlsx" from the local path "C:\UploadFile\" to the "/Documents/ExcelFiles/" folder within OneDrive. The overwrite option is set to true, and the result of the operation (success or failure) is stored in the Boolean variable "isUploadSuccessful" for further handling in the workflow.
