Task Cloud Transfer - Copy/Move

The Cloud - Copy/Move item(s) Task copies or moves files between folders within a single cloud connection (Amazon S3, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Storage, Microsoft Azure or OneDrive).

Note

Source and destination must be on the same Connection. The Destination folder is a path within the same bucket/container/drive selected on the Remote file filter sub tab. To move files between two different cloud accounts use the Sync task or chain a Download and Upload task together.

Copy/Move item(s) > Remote file filter sub tab

This Task uses the standard Cloud Remote file filter to define the connection, bucket/container, source folder, item mask, date and size filters, sorting and result limit. Every item returned by the filter is copied (or moved).

Copy/Move item(s) > Destination sub tab

Destination folder

The folder within the same Connection where the matched items will be copied or moved to. Click the Folder icon to browse the cloud and pick the destination.

Keep modified/created date

When checked, the modified and created dates from the source file are preserved on the destination file (where the cloud service supports it).

Delete source file (move)

When checked, the source file is deleted after a successful copy, effectively turning the operation into a move. When unchecked the operation is a copy and the source remains in place.

Overwrite options

Select what to do if a file already exists at the destination. Available options:

• Overwrite - always if existing - always overwrites the destination file
• Overwrite - if newer - overwrites only if the source file is newer than the destination
• Overwrite - if destination size is - overwrites based on a size comparison; enables the size comparison dropdown below
• Append if destination is smaller - otherwise overwrite - appends to the destination if it is smaller than the source, otherwise overwrites
• Append if destination is smaller - otherwise overwrite if newer - appends if smaller, otherwise overwrites only if newer
• Append if destination is smaller - otherwise skip - appends if smaller, otherwise skips
• Append if existing - otherwise create - appends to an existing file or creates a new one
• Append if existing - otherwise skip - appends to an existing file or skips if it does not exist
• Do not overwrite if existing - skips the file if it already exists at the destination

Size comparison

Only enabled when Overwrite options is set to Overwrite - if destination size is. Selects the size comparison criterion used to decide whether to overwrite:

• Same - overwrites if the destination is the same size as the source
• Smaller - overwrites if the destination is smaller than the source
• Larger - overwrites if the destination is larger than the source
• Smaller or larger - overwrites if the destination differs in size from the source
• Different - overwrites if the sizes differ
