Onedrive for Business Create File connector not working "not found"

Posted on by HS-07030203-0

Hello, I have many flows that use the Onedrive create file connector so I can read the contents of excel files in PA and also to create PDFs from HTML.

Since yesterday (March 5th) all the onedrive connectors started to fail. When I try to create a file on an existing path I only get the "not found" error. I can only fix the error temporally when I re enter the path and change the connection (using the same account, only creating a new one) but after some tries it fails with the same issue, and I can't be doing this all day.

Does someone know if there has been an update that could've broken anything? Does someone have the same issue?

I developed a test flow with everything new to discard that there is a problem with my current flows. But I can't create a new Onedrive file.

I attach the test flow that I made to make sure that the problem isn't form the list or files that are currently on use.

Hi @HS-07030203-0,

After how much time/how many runs does it fail? How are you testing? Manually or are you testing Automatically (with previous runs)?

Can you also share what configuration you are using in the actions? Specifically the Folder Path, File Name and File Content fields values of Create file action would be useful to see for troubleshooting.

Below was my test, which worked (after 5 test runs). So, personally I don't see the same issue on my development environment.

Happy to help out 😁

The same thing happened to me. Just a day ago, the flow was running perfectly.

I had to force the file content format in order to use it.

It worked for me, but I'm pretty sure Microsoft changed something and broke our flows...

@{base64ToBinary(body('Get_file_content_Template')?['$content'])}

Hello @HS-07030203-0. I'm having the same problem. It started a couple of days ago. I didn't change anything in my flows, but they suddenly started to fail with the message: '404 File Not Found'. Is there any solution or anything I could try?

Hi, I'm having the same problem with my workflows. It worked fine until yesterday at noon, but then the "Create File" action stopped working. The error is that it can't find the file: '404 File Not Found'. The same thing happens when I use "Convert Word File to PDF" with Word Online. Does anyone know how to fix this? I haven't seen any announcement from Microsoft either.

Olá, estou com o mesmo problema nos meus fluxos.

Ao gerar arquivo no OneDrive exibe mensagem: "Arquivo 404 Não Encontrado".

Hi @JC-07101246-0

Great to see the workaround fixed it for you, thanks for sharing 👍

Might be good to still report it back to Power Automate support. Maybe it is bug/something they are working on?
