Not copying file

Posted on by botty1963

I have a simple flow to check an email folder, look for a specific subject and copy the attachment to a OneDrive folder. Power Automate says that it is running ok, but the files never appear in the OneDrive folder. All that is there is the original one that I put there a few days ago. Is there something that you have to do to overwrite the existing file, and could that be the issue even though it doesn't show any errors? I don't have permissions to add an image so can't show the flow.

Hi @botty1963,

You could use Get file content + Create file actions instead of copy file, it will overwrite these files automatically.

Many thanks, I have made that change and will see if it updates when the next email drops in.

It has just run and shows as successful, however when I look into the OneDrive folder it just shows a file (from the time it ran) with the file type 'file' and the Excel file it needs to overwrite hasn't been updated.

I have now resolved this, I have set up a different report source and when I then set up Power Automate, it now creates the file.
