Any ideas why this isnt working ?

This my flow

I think the apply to each is working but when I try the get file content it errors

I select certain files using the Select and that works

This is the for each

Hi @smallzoo ,

Yes, your guess is correct.

On the Power Automate platform, networked files will not be automatically saved locally. You can manually download and click the file to save it locally.

Hi @smallzoo ,

You don't need 'select', delete this control.

Please check my flow:

When I use apply to each all I can choose from that is similar to yours is body/value

Hi @smallzoo ,

You first select 'value' in 'Apply to each' before selecting 'identifier' in 'get file content'.

First you can see that I get the option of Output, Output Item and Outputs to choose from not value as per your example
