How to auto separate MS Lists uploads into separate Sharepoint folders using Power Automate?

Hello,

Just realized that MS Lists only allows 1 column for attachments (though allowing multiple attachments). The problem is, I was trying to create multiple columns so the attachments can be added by category.

Since I can't categorize multiple columns, I need to be able to separate the attachments into categorized folders once they are uploaded but I want to do this automatically.

How do I use Power Automate to grab the attachments and place each file in separate SharePoint folders? Thanks!

    Dear Lissa,

    Thanks for your updates.

    The file name and the file extension seem to be extracted correctly in your environment. You can just combine them when creating new files.

    Thank you for your time and effort.

    Sincerely

    Dear Lissa,

    Thanks for your updates.

    You can just combine the name and the extension in the Name part in the Create File action in your flow.

    Thank you for your time and effort.
