hi guys, I would like to create a simple flow to keep monitoring the DCIM folder, and automatically move any eventual new pictures detected there to another folder, so google photo won't backup automatically all my camera pics.

i tried on my own and also downloaded other flows and adapted them for the purpose all to no avail sadly.

my last attempt is this one linked below:



...would you mind check briefly and let me know what I am missing? 

when I start the flow, and take a picture, after a while the flow stops with the following error:
