I know there is a workflow to move documents from one folder (or a library) to a different one inside the SharePoint based on their approval status or version number etc. But I want to move the document to a local folder in a drive (say P:) instead of a folder inside the sharepoint site.

Does this have to be real-time or batch? Can you explain why you wish to do this? – Dave Wise Mar 1 at 17:50
Yeah, I want it to be real-time but if its not possible then batch solution will be good too... I want to detect the approval status of the document and if its approved then automatically move it to the shared drive – Gravity M Mar 1 at 18:08

If you need this to happen in real time then you will need an event receiver. If a small delay is acceptable then you can go with either a custom workflow or a Timer Job.

Lastly, you could simply create a PowerShell script that has the logic you need and attach it to a Scheduled Task in Windows.

Ok, when I tried to create a custom workflow, we will set the destination library right? In the window appeared only had sharepoint folders but not any local or shared drives. – Gravity M Mar 1 at 18:51
Sorry, by "Custom Workflow" I meant a workflow created in Visual Studio, not Designer. – Dave Wise Mar 1 at 19:31
