Please help to resolve below error or guide other way to achieve moving files between two onedrive folder.

Alteryx Designer result:

Alteryx Server result with error:

Hi @sparkle ,

The Alteryx Server must have access to the same folders as you do, which is why the local folder doesn't work when you run it on the server.

The options are:

1. Install the OneDrive desktop app on your Alteryx server machine, preferably in your user. (If you install in a different user, the path will be different)

2. Use the OneDrive API to move files from one folder to another. This is preferred but would require API knowledge and permission to use the API endpoints.

Best,
