Hello @Anil_G

I checked for this activity but I am not able to see this activity in my activity pannel. The package I have used is UiPath.microsoft365.activities and version is latest version 2.6 may I know if any changes I need to do or do I need to downgrade the version.

@sanjay_gowda,

Due to multiple limitations, Find Files And Folders activity has been deprecated. Please use For Each File/Folder (classic) or For Each File or Folder(Integration Service connection) instead.

Refer this documentation:

@sanjay_gowda

Its a classic activity…you can reduce the package version

Or for latest use for each

Hello @ashokkarale ,

I tried using for each and I was able to locate the vendor folder which is present inside my root folder
Eg : my root folder is sanjay and inside this I have vendor folder and I was able to look for this. But next step is like if vendor folder is found how can I go inside that folder and look for current date folder.

My folder structure is like this : Sanjay >vendor>date
Sanjay is my root or parent folder
Vendor is a subfolder of Sanjay
Date is a subfolder of vendor

Please let me know if any further details required.

Thanks,
Happy automation :grinning:

@sanjay_gowda,

Try using another For Each File/Folder inside the current one to iterate subfolders.

How can I give the dynamic input for both for each because the vendor folders will be more than 10 with different names
