Download Location is not showing in Download File activity of Office365

Hi,

Instead of office 365 Classic activities I used Office 365 Download file activity.
The issue here is, in the Download file activity the Download Location field is not available. but when I check with the Download file activity of office 365 classic, its actually available there.

Now how to mention the location in this new download file activity

@codename_9399,

There is no option to give download location, instead the activity downloads the file at temporary location from there you can copy paste the file to desired location.

Where we will get that temp path?
The output property named File. Assign a variable to it like downloadedFile. downloadedFile.LocalPath will give you the temporary file path.

Use Move File Or Copy File activity to copy it to desired location.

Thanks,
Ashok :slight_smile:

To explain the ‘why’ of this change, cause I know it seems super annoying and I too complained of this in the past, however it does make sense after knowing the context.

These activities are now ‘Cross Platform’, they work on Windows, Linux and Mac and are compatible with Studio web for running in the cloud.
As such they needed adjusting in this way which means you lose some control over the location etc, but gain the flexibility.

Maybe its little comfort, but hopefully it explains what at first glance can seem like a backwards step.
