For Each File/Folder
UiPath.MicrosoftOffice365.Activities.Files.ForEachFileFolder
Uses the Microsoft Graph Microsoft Search API (for Advanced Search) or Microsoft Graph Search items API (for Simple search) to perform an activity or a series of activities on each file/folder that matches the filter criteria.
For more details about the Microsoft Search API implementation, please check the following resources:
- Microsoft Search API overview
- Microsoft Search API to search content in OneDrive and SharePoint
- Searchable site properties
In the Body of the Activity
- For each - Enter the name by which to refer to the current file in the iteration. Using a name that describes the type of file in
the folder makes it easier to identify and select the current file option when configuring activities added inside For Each
File/Folder. For example, for a folder that contains reports, you can enter
Report
. The default value isDriveItem
.

- Simple Search - The query text used to
search for files and folders across several fields like filename and file
content. This property supports
String
variables and string formatted values. -
Use Simple Search - When active, the simple search is used instead of the advanced search. If this option is active, then the Include Subfolders parameter is ignored. This field supports Boolean values.
Note:If Use simple search is selected, the Files Repository property only supports the OneDrive, SharePoint, and Specific Url options.
The activity can now be used with personal Microsoft accounts and with ApplicationIdAndSecret and ApplicationIdAndCertificate authentication types (when used inside Microsoft Office 365 Scope activity) if the Use simple search option is checked.
