Hello,

I have setup a flow with a manual trigger button. This then goes on to list files in a file system folder.
After this, it should get the file content of these files before creating a file/copy of these files into a Dropbox location.

However, I am receiving this error on a File System > Get file content action:

There is no file with name '10. Jan 2023' located in '' on your file system. Verify the file exists or create it before trying to access it.
clientRequestId: 6bb32fc7-b7c0-4c0e-b2ed-30245cde1687

This is how my flow is setup:

Any help would be really appreciated! 😎

Thanks,

Chris

Dear S,
Just a thought, are there any items in the folder which are folders instead of files? If so and that is the cause, then a Filter Array function on 'IsFolder' can help you filter out files (not folders) and you should be good.

Happy flowing,
Koen

Anyone an update on this, I run into exactly the same problem and it makes no sense. O even renamed the file manualy to something very simple to rule out any problems with characters

@Koen5 thanks but I cannot change the filename as it's in a restricted area I don't have access to.

Dear sudosaurus,

Looks fine to me, especially as the output display name states the requested file name.
The only thing that comes to mind for this weird case is to try and first rename the file manually and see if the flow works (it may give you some input of the cause). If it works fine, then rename the file before using is. Does not solve the error you get but ... if it works ... it works.
Another way is possibly to use a different action which does the same (sometimes they behave slightly different) or a copy-by-path action.

I would like to learn how to solved it eventually.
Happy flowing,
Koen
