File system-action error 403: "The credentials for this connection do not have access to ..."

Hello,
I have a flow that gets triggered when a button gets pushed in a Power Apps. The flow contains, among other things, the 'File System'-action and the 'Send E-mail'-action. Up until last week, this flow ran perfectly. Since then users got an error when executing the 'file system'-action to write files using the On-Premises Data Gateway. I tried saving the flow as a new flow and now the flow works for certain users, including myself, but still not for everyone. The error most of the flow-executors receive is "{ "status": 403, "message": "The credentials for this connection do not have access to 'D:...". Some users are able to execute this action, while others are not. As far as I know, there was nothing changed in the Dataverse when it comes to users and their permissions. While this 'file system'-action is connected to the server via the gateway, is it possible that someone changed permissions to users on the server? Or does someone know what might be going wrong in this flow?
Thank you in advance
kind regards, Martin

    I'm experiencing a similar issue - did you ever get it resolved @mvdb ?

    In my case I had a trigger for When a file is added or modified (properties only) that accesses a network path that I am able to access with my credentials.

    This was working for quite some time - at least 6 months - then suddenly it stopped.  When I try to inspect it, I'm sent to the Flow Checker which says There's a problem with this flow's trigger and directs me to Data > Connections and the name of the connection.

    The error I get is:

    The credentials for this connection do not have access to '', please try using a different location or account. clientRequestId: {Id redacted}

     
    Both the location and account seem fine.

    My Connection is configured with the full path, so in the flow itself the location is just FileSystem in the picker resulting in a folder value of /.

    One oddity is that when I select the ellipses (…) on the trigger, the connection I'm trying to use is listed under Other connections instead of My connections like the others, but it seemed to allow me to select it.

     

    When I view the Connection details it lists the owner of the connection as me.
