Hello all, I am trying to call a Flow from PowerApps. Flow is updating a HTML template stored on OneDrive and converting it to PDF using "One Drive - Convert File" connector. I want to let users download that file to their Downloads folder (or if required, I can ask user to enter folder location in PowerApps, and then save that PDF to that folder). Can anyone help me with this scenario. If required, I can also go for premium connectors.

Hello @nitinbalodi,

From what I could understand from your issue description, you want to download a file from OneDrive and store it in a folder, in the machine.
I suggest that you use the 'File System' connector for that purpose. The action 'Create file' can be used to create a file in your machine using the content of another file (see image below), and in a folder of your choice.

Is this a good solution for you?
Looking forward to your response.

Hello, thanks for the response. I tried to perform the action, but "Create File" action under "File System" has different options for me (refer screenshot below). Can you please help me with that.

Hello @nitinbalodi,

You need to create a connection before you can use the connector. So, I would like to suggest you to follow the following guide:
- Connection name: you can give the connection the name you want
- Root folder: you need to check what the path of the folder you want as root (e.g., C:\Users)
- Authentication type: windows
- Username: you have to open the command prompt and type 'set user'. Then you'll be able to see your domain and username.
- Password: it is the password of the current user in your machine

I hope I could help!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
