I'm stuck in my flow. I'm saving emails to a SharePoint folder Document Library. a folder is created if folder doesn't exist however when folder name has '#' in the start of the folder name the folder cannot be not found where file is to be save although folder exists/created already . strange even I use concat i.e concat('#','Test') ain't working. Appreciate for help
