PAD Flows - Automatically Stored on OneDrive

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by pjwilson1987

Can someone tell me what this means in the PAD documentation below?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/getting-started-msa

I have PAD files that automatically stored on my OneDrive, but I am unable to open them in PAD.

Is there a certain way I need to open these files to see my PAD flows?

Or am I interpreting this wrong?

Desktop flows built with an Office 365 (work or school account) are stored in the default environment of the tenant. Since a Microsoft account doesn't have a tenant those desktop flows are stored in their consumer OneDrive, which they do have as a Microsoft account. When you say you have PAD files on your OneDrive are you sure its OneDrive and not OneDrive for Business? If you are using a Microsoft Account and access the files using PAD when you are logged in with the MS account the files should be available. If you are logged in with an Office account you won't be able to open them.

@Pstork1
My OneDrive is my Personal Account (not Business).
I am using my Microsoft Account.
I was able to use the flow this morning, but then after I made an edit, the flow exited out and disappeared from my Flows in PAD.

I am pretty sure it is this one outlined in red below, but it does not appear in my list of Flows in PAD:

Is there any way to somehow copy/paste or import it into my PAD Flows?
Or do you think maybe something happened because the Flow was too large of a file?
I did not delete it, so I am not sure why it does not show anymore in my PAD Flows.

For that you may have to open a support ticket to have MS walk you through it. It should be a combination of the file you specified and the meta file above it. Try closing PAD and re-logging in and see if it comes back. Otherwise I'm not sure how you would get to it.

@Pstork1
Do you have a link to open a support ticket for MS?
I am not seeing that option anywhere.

Oh ok. This is my free personal account. Looks like I am unable to submit a support ticket.
Thank for the help though! Appreciate it!
