File size limit to Dropbox File Created trigger

I've created a flow that monitors a Dropbox folder and kicks off some actions when a file is created. The flow worked fine in my initial tests but once I started using live files > 70Mb it failed. I've read about file size limits in Flow but couldn't find anything specific to my case. Is anyone else experiencing this and is there any workaround?

Thanks

Hi @SimonSays,

Please refer to this document about Dropbox connector, the limitation about the file is 50MB, if the file size over 50 MB, it will not trigger the Flow:

Thanks for the explanation @v-litu-msft. This is a big disappointment, not least because of the way it silently fails rather than at least triggering the flow and then being able to handle the error. Is there any workaround you would suggest?

Hi @SimonSays,

Sorry, this is a problem with the design of the connector. I'm afraid there's no solution.
