I have a step called create file and the file path I use is as follows:/Shared/22 BC Region/Projects/22200234/Internal/2.0 service/2R SUSTAINABILITY/2R-3 M and R/storage.And the error message :"errorMessage": "Provided path can not include \\ \" : < > | * ? characters" keeps poping up when there is no such characters in my path.

Hi YZ-08011616-0,

Sometimes, invisible characters or formatting issues can creep into file paths, especially if copied from another source. trim('your_file_path_here')

Even though you believe the path is clean, SharePoint can misinterpret certain characters, including spaces. uriComponent('/Shared/22 BC Region/Projects/22200234/Internal/2.0 service/2R SUSTAINABILITY/2R-3 M and R/storage')

Replace /Shared with the actual SharePoint document library name.

Pls try the above and let me know if you still have issues. thanks

Hi SaiRT14,

Thank you for your response. I am typing in my path but it still shows the same error. I have copied similar path before and all the flows works except for this one.
