Hi @santhoshsaravanan91!

Looks like the machine running the robot doesn’t have access to the folder that you are trying to send the files from Orchestrator.

Check manually in the machine if you can access this network path: ‘G:\Files’, if you cannot, speak with the network or infrastruture team responsible for the machine to clear access.

If you can, check that maybe you need to pass the full server directory of the folder, so instead of

G:\Files

you need to pass:

\\servername\Files

Check these documentation below to see if it also helps you:

Hope it helps,
Best Regards

Hi @santhoshsaravanan91 ,

  • For Destination property, you should also specify the desired file name, not just the folder (“Data\MyFile.xlsx”)
  • For Path, you should use the file name from your Storage Bucket you want to access (“MyFile.xlsx”)
  • For Storage Bucket Name, use the name of the storage bucket

First use the activity “List Storage Files” to get all the items in the bucket
