Hi @MasterOfLogic, you can try this method: Download the package “BalaReva.FileProperties.Activities” from Manage Packages and use the activity “Hide Unhide”. This is a simple activity, and you just have to give the file name, and check the box of whether you want to Hide the file. This is what it looks like:

Hope it works for you! Please mark this as a solution if it does! Thank you.

Hi @MasterOfLogic,

You can use Invoke Method Activity to acheive the same.

  1. Drag and Drop Invoke Method.
  2. Target Type = System.IO.File
  3. Method Name = SetAttributes
  4. Parameters
    1. File Path - Type - String
    2. System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden - Type - FileAttributes.

Kindly find the sample workflow.
HideFile.xaml (4.0 KB)

Warm Regards,
