ReportReport
Posted on by 4

I am facing issue to develop flow where I want to copy all files that contains text "ABCD" in file name from a sharepoint library - (arranged in multiple folders/subfolders) to another sharepoint folder.

There are more than 10000 files to be checked for above condition and approx 1000 files that match above criteria for file name

I have the same question (0)

    Unfortunately flow is failed as there was "Access Denied" for "List folder"

    The error message seems like target to a connection issue.

    If you confirm you have privilege to access those folders, try to create a new connection, remove the action and add a new one for a try.

    No. Stil I am getting the similar error message of "Access Denied". I am able to copy files from sharepoint folder, but getting this error message while running this flow. Is it possible that I have access to subfolder of a shrepoint library and when we run the flow to "List folder", it returns "Access Denied" error?

    It shouldn't actually.

    Maybe you can try to create a new connection for this connector and use this new connection for "List folder". Furthermore, you can remove the action and add a new one to see whether helps.

     

    If none of above is with luck, think you may need to raise a ticket to Microsoft for accurate troubleshooting steps:
