How to Schedule Automatic File Transfers

The Schedule Task feature lets you automate file operations between your connected cloud accounts. Instead of manually transferring or managing files every time, you can schedule tasks to run automatically at a time that works for you.

How to create a scheduled task

  1. Choose an operationSelect the action you want to automate:Copy files
    Move files
    Delete files
  2. Select the source folder Choose the connected cloud account and the folder where the files are currently stored.
  3. Select the destination folder If you’re copying or moving files, choose the destination cloud account and folder where the files should be transferred.
  4. Choose when to run the taskSelect how often you want the task to run:
    One Time: Choose a specific date and time.
    Daily: Select the time the task should run each day.
    Weekly: Choose the day of the week and the time.
    Monthly: Select the date of the month and the time.
  5. Name and confirmGive your task a name that helps you identify it later. Review the summary and confirm the schedule.

Managing your scheduled tasks

After creating a schedule, you can view all of its details in the Summary section.

If you have multiple scheduled tasks, they’ll all appear in the same dashboard, making it easy to keep track of what is scheduled, where files are being transferred, and when each task will run.

You can view all your active schedules, upcoming runs, recently failed runs, and runs scheduled to start within the next 24 hours from a single dashboard. It also provides a breakdown of file operations, showing how many tasks involve moving, copying, or deleting files.

What to Do If a Scheduled Task Does Not Run

If a scheduled task does not run when expected, start by checking the Schedule Tasks dashboard and Run History. All Cloud Hub shows upcoming runs, recently failed runs, and the status of your scheduled tasks from these areas, so you can identify whether the task is still scheduled, failed, or has not started yet.

1. Check the Schedule Tasks dashboard

Open Schedule Tasks and check the task’s current status.

The dashboard shows information such as:

  • Active schedules to confirm that the task is still active.
  • Next run to see when All Cloud Hub is expected to run the task next.
  • Failed last 7d to identify whether the task has recently failed.
  • Runs in last 24h to check whether the task has executed recently.

If there is no upcoming run, review the schedule settings and make sure the task is still configured for the date, time, and recurrence you intended.

2. Check Run History

Open Run History to see whether All Cloud Hub attempted to run the task.

Run History records scheduled activity and can show runs as Running, Succeeded, Partial, or Failed. You can also filter the history by schedule, date range, operation, and run status to find the relevant execution.

A Partial result means that the scheduled operation ran but some files were not processed successfully. A Failed result means the scheduled run did not complete successfully.

3. Verify the scheduled time

Check the date, time, and recurrence configured for the task. All Cloud Hub displays and uses scheduled times in your local timezone, so make sure the selected time matches when you actually want the task to run.

For recurring schedules, also check whether the task is configured as Daily, Weekly, or Monthly and whether the next run shown in the dashboard matches your expectation.

4. Check your connected cloud accounts

Scheduled tasks depend on the connected source and destination cloud accounts.

Make sure:

  • The source cloud account is still connected.
  • The destination account is still connected.
  • You still have access to the selected folders.
  • The source and destination folders have not been changed or removed.
  • The accounts have the required permissions for the selected operation.

If an account has been disconnected or its access has changed, reconnecting or reauthorizing the account may be necessary before the scheduled task can run successfully.

5. Review the source and destination folders

If the schedule runs but does not transfer the expected files, check the folders selected when the task was created.

For Copy and Move operations, verify both the source and destination folders. For Delete operations, verify the source folder and make sure the task is targeting the location you intended.

Also check whether the source folder actually contains files that need to be processed when the task runs.

6. Look for a failed or partial run

If the task appears to have run but some or all files were not processed, use Run History to identify the result.

This is particularly useful for recurring schedules because you can determine whether the problem occurred during one specific run or has been happening repeatedly.

All Cloud Hub records scheduled activity in Run History, providing a record of previous executions that you can use when troubleshooting.

7. Check again after fixing the issue

After correcting the schedule, account, folder, or permission issue, check the Next Run information on the Schedule Tasks dashboard.

For recurring tasks, you can use the next scheduled execution to confirm that the schedule is active and configured correctly.

Important: Failed runs currently surface in the Schedule Tasks area rather than through separate notifications. If a scheduled task is important, regularly check the Schedule Tasks dashboard and Run History to make sure your automated operations are completing as expected.
