TFS 2015 VNext Copy Files task without copying folders

Using the copy task to copy some msi files to the drop location. The msis are in corresponding bin/debug/release folders. When I use the copy files task it copies the entire folder structure (bin/debug/...msi) to the target location. I just want it to copy the files to the target location. Is that possible?

This can be achieved. However, you need to specify the copy root if you want to copy files only without folder structure. You can use $(Build.StagingDirectory) as a target for this. Afterwards use the Publish task with $(Build.StagingDirectory) as copy root and publish everything from this root to the drop.

Detail step and screenshot please take a look at the answer from Eddie in this question: Copy one file in target directory on deploy from visual studio team services
