File System Credentials Errors

Posted on by dyfink

I successfully added a File System connection for my local C: drive. However, I have a NAS which is mapped to N:. I've been trying unsuccessfully for a few days to get it to work. It is going through the same gateway. I've tried various versions of domain\username. I've tried both N: and \\My-NAS and nothing seems to work. Here are the error codes that I'm getting depending on the formatting of my domain\username.

Error code: '403', Message: 'The credentials for this connection do not have access to '', please try using a different location or account. clientRequestId: 5A2ADDE9-7AF3-4025-A206-F5B6BE5B2E9B'. More diagnostic information: x-ms-client-request-id is '5A2ADDE9-7AF3-4025-A206-F5B6BE5B2E9B'.

(I think this is the one when the domain\username is incorrect.

Error code: '400', Message: 'The requested action could not be completed. Check your request parameters to make sure the path '' exists on your file system. clientRequestId: 7ABEBEEA-A547-4284-9502-FE34E2FE4105'. More diagnostic information: x-ms-client-request-id is '7ABEBEEA-A547-4284-9502-FE34E2FE4105'.)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey @dyfink

The error told that the credentials for the connection do not have access to your folder.

I finally found a solution to my issue here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Using-Connectors/Problem-connecting-to-File-System-in-Flow/m-p/136718/highlight/true#M3193

I created a user on my on-premises gateway host computer with the same user name & password as my Synology NAS user account.
It is just a Standard account and doesn't have anything shared with it.
User those credentials for the File System Connection
MY-PC\Mr My Name (like DOMAIN\username, but use the new account that you just created on your local computer)
The only thing you really need to keep in mind is that when you change your NAS password, you will need to change it both on the local account and on the File System connection in your Power Automate console.

After that it worked like a charm. I hope this helps someone else (or me next time it breaks).
