Copy Folder Dynamic Action

About

The Copy Folder Action is a workflow tool designed to duplicate the contents of a specific folder, including all files and subfolders, to a new location. This action is useful in various scenarios where data needs to be backed up, transferred, or replicated across different systems or directories. By automating the process, it ensures that folder structures and contents are preserved during copying without requiring manual intervention.
