    Hi, gdrenteria is right, if you are on the SaaS version, unfortunately you cannot access the local folder unless you upload it manually.
    In addition to using Azure, I personally recommend using Power Automate, which generally does not add additional costs.
    Here are a few simple examples to hopefully give you some tips.
