IF the folder is not available there I believe it needs to create it and move the file inside that folder, but it didn’t and it just created another file type that I can’t even open and I cannot file the file that it was supose to move, please help

Hi @Anelisa_Bolosha1,

Move File activity does not create the destination folder automatically.

Additionally, could you try using \Processed_MDP\?

Thanks

Hi @Anelisa_Bolosha1,

This seems to be a network drive path. Could you please copy the path up to September 2026 and paste it into File Explorer to verify whether you can access it?

@Anelisa_Bolosha1

Renaming file might works, add the extension based on your file, if your file is excel add .xlsx or pdf add .pdf there you can get your file in readable format with all data.
