Hi @priya_joshi_thaneti,

Use Move file activity to move the one file to another location
For Example :
Properties:
From Path :"D:\Arivazhagan\NewFolder1\Sample.xlsx"
Destination Path :"D:\Arivazhagan\NewFolder2\"+datetime.Now.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss")+".xlsx"

For more refer below link

Hi @arivu96,

how to add name (abc) to the datetime.now.to string

i.e., I need something like “abc”_datetime.now.Tostring(“MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss”)+“.xlsx”

can we pass it like this
Destination Path : `“D:\Arivazhagan\NewFolder2"+“abc”+datetime.Now.ToString(“MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss”)+”.xlsx"
