Creating a scheduled, automated process that will poll network drives and upload images with metadata to SharePoint online:

  • Power Automate polls the Azure drive on scheduled intervals
  • When detected, images are moved to the assigned SharePoint library
  • The CSV is parsed and metadata is loaded to the related library and columns
  • The completed documents and metadata are moved to an Archive location to keep the source directory clean

Other Off the Shelf tools were considered but Power Automate offered the most flexibility for future development while utilizing an existing M365 subscription.
