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
