Problem with COPY FILES action

Posted on by davidgarciaeduc 12

Hello

         I have Windows 2019 server with Power Automate Desktop and OneDrive Client, I designed a flow to copy a file synced in OneDrive to another folder but when I run the Cloud flow and call to Desktop flow i received a message "System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path" and I don't know why because the folder has admin permissions, any clue?

    Hi,

    It must be related to access issue only, check the account you are using for running bot has access to copy file on both location source and destination by going into property -> security of folder and access rights. Having full control ticked mark should not give you this error. check below screenshot for your reference:
