File → Copy File
AI-generatedOverview
This node operation copies a file within the Twake Drive system. It allows users to select the source file either via a dropdown browsing interface or by manually entering the file ID. The destination folder can also be selected similarly, either by browsing or manual ID entry. Users can optionally specify a new name for the copied file. This operation is useful for duplicating files within the same or different folders in Twake Drive, facilitating file management and organization.
Use Case Examples
- Copy a file from one folder to another by selecting the source file and destination folder from dropdown lists.
- Manually specify the file ID of the source file and the destination folder ID to copy a file to a specific location.
- Copy a file and rename it during the copy process to maintain version control or clarity.
