Copy files to different clouds

Hi,
The following scenario:
I have a backup file created. In the first step, this file should be copied to cloud directory 1.
In the second step, the file should be moved to cloud directory 2.
What is the best way to do this without downloading the file from cloud directory 1 again in order to move it to cloud directory 2?
Best regards,
Doktor

Where do you want the file to be moved from in the second step?

The files are on my ssd.
The best way:
copy file from ssd to cloud directory 1
move file from ssd to cloud directory 2.
But I have in mind that Hazel changes the reference after a operation. That would mean that if I then do ‘move’, it would try to move the file from cloud directory 1 to cloud directory 2 and it would not try to move the file from the SSD to cloud directory 2.
Is that correct?

Right, so you would need to split it into two rules, with the first one using a "Continue" action to allow the file to keep being evaluated after the first match.

And the second rule starts after the first rule is finish?

Yes. Rules execute in order.
