Hi FZOU
In Azure Data Factory, the activity with the option is commonly used to retrieve a list of files or folders within a directory.
However, in Microsoft Fabric, this specific option isn’t available directly.
To achieve similar functionality in Fabric, you can use a combination of activities and expressions.
You can try using the foreach activity.
You can view the link below for more details:
Get Metadata activity - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
ForEach activity - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
