I've been helping a work collegue set up a fairly straightforward Flow. I gave her access to my data gateway and when reports come into her Email from a specific site, it exacts the attachments and places them into a shared network folder. This flow works great!
She posed me a new challenge however. When her reports (in csv) are too large, the source automatically places them in Zip files. "No Worries!" i thought, i'll just add a condition inside the 'apply to each' that checks the extracted attachment file, and if its a zip i will just make use of the File System - Extract Folder.
This all tested wonderfully, but when i put it into practise, it fails with an internal server error. Further testing succeeds with test files that have an extacted size of 4.5 Mb. The real world files are about 7.5 Mb when extracted and are failing.
So is this a limitation of the File System - Extract Folder? Is the use of the data gateway what is causing the limit? Is there are a work around here?
@v-yamao-msftI've installed the updated data gateway that was just released (14.16.6480.1) and this issue has not been resolved.
Can you please advise?
This morning we upgraded our Data Gateway to the latest version. I was hoping that since the upgrade from 2meg to 20meg was recent that perhaps the latest version might suffice. This has not solved the issue.
Thanks @v-yamao-msft
I only used this flow the other day, so how recent was the change to 20Mb? Here is a screenshot of the meat of the flow. The only thing you can't see is an outlook flow item with "When a new email arrives", which has some conditions on it to only pick up the required emails. The file that is failing on us is about 500kb in size, but contains a CSV file that will extract to about 7.1 mb
Hi ross73312,
About the file size limitation, please check this thread for a reference:

@clamanna has mentioned that the limit of File system connector has been increased from 2 MB to 20 MB recently. Please check the thread for more details.
How is your flow configured? Please show me a screenshot of your flow to help reproduce this issue on my side.
Best regards,
Mabel Mao
