Workflow issue - Copy New files from a user's folder1 to user's folder2

I’m trying to set up the following workflow:

When a user uploads a file into Folder 1, I want that file to automatically be copied into the same user’s Folder 2.

I can do this with a Relay, but the issue is that I’d need to create and customize a separate Relay for every single user,which isn’t scalable.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to automate this without having to build a new Relay for each individual user?

This will likely be possible with Box Automate at some point.  In the meantime, you can do this with a third-party workflow tool like Workato, Power Automate, n8n, etc.
