    Hi there!
     
    The root cause is the target folder.  Here's what normally solves this:

    1)  Go into edit mode and reselect the folder using the folder icon and navigate to the folder (vs typing it in).
     
    2)  Save.
     
    3)  Retest.

    Hello everyone,

    Thank you for your support

    I found the solution converting the content from Microsoft Word Template to base64...

    If anyone needs it...

    Replace the dynamic content to this expression in File Content.

    base64ToBinary(body('Populate_a_Microsoft_Word_template')?['$content'])

    Then it will work.
