Recently I got the question if we could automatically copy files from SharePoint to local disk for back-up purpose. After evaluating several options I chose Microsoft Flow, or ‘Power Automate’ as it’s called these days to build a solution. In this article I’m going to explain the steps to copy files from a SharePoint folder to a local disk. Setting up a gateway The first thing we need to do is install a piece of software on the pc we want to receive the SharePoint files on.

With the introduction of Windows 10 came a nifty little tool called ‘Quick Assist’. This tool is basically the Microsoft equivalent of Teamviewer. You give a remote assist code to the client in need and voila; you’re connected to the remote desktop. There are shortcuts to the task manager and restart button, an annotate function and most interesting the option to remote control the client’s pc. There is one problem however: Once you trigger UAC, the screen freezes and doesn’t show a log-in window.
