@Anonymous how you getting files sharepoing, are you using sharepoing folder as a source, which should work in this case. Read files from share point folders and you will get only files that are available and not to worry about missing files. Hope it make sense.

 

Would appreciate Kudos 🙂 if my solution helped.

How are you combining the data?  Do you have a query for folders on separate sites, or are you using a function to import similar files from a single sharepoint site with multiple folders?

I have multiple subfolders in the same SharePoint folder and I request data for each one with New Source/SharePoint Folder and select from Parameter the Folder Name.
