I am getting error of "'Folder Path' is required." when saving the flow from template "Save my email attachments to a SharePoint document library". "Folder Path" is picked after "Site Address" is put in, not typed in. Any trick?

Thanks ekarim2020. What I did was "select the Folder Path without typing", the (2) option, but still gave me error.

Do I need to be administrator or have something like "administrator" privilege to the SharePoint site or to the folder?

Magic! This time it does not give me error. I am a bit lost, but as long as it works, great!

(1) Try a custom value for the site address

Double check that you can browse to the SharePoint site's Folder path.

Try Enter Custom value
then paste in the SharePoint Library's URL
Then select the Folder Path

(2) Delete the Create file action
Delete the Create file action. Then add a new Create File action and configure.

(3) Save a new copy of the flow and run this new copy.
This can resolve issues with corruption (unknown to use) within the flow. You will need to turn on the new flow, and if appropriate, turn of the old flow.

after I carefully followed all of your instructions above and set up the "if no" branch, now it works for real: I see attachments are dumped to SharePoint folder. I must have made some mistakes somewhere in the beginning.
Thanks so much ekarim2020.
