I Want to create a folder on a local server using data from a SharePoint list and put some files in there. I made this very basic flow that illustrates the problem:
If the folder already exists this flow works fine and a file is created in the given subfolder. When it does not it throws an error. Now the documentation is very silent on this topic but elsewhere it was suggested that this should work as long as you're creating a file which is good enough for me.
Tried all kinds of syntaxes including basckslashes, full paths, dynamic variables etc. but nothing works: a folder is not created. The account has Full Controll rights over the given folder path.
Please advise.
Thank you very much for your reply, @peterof63. That's a pity, because our automation is based on Power Automate and AI Builder. Swichting to another solution is complicated - so I need to find a way to create folders through this automation.
Cheers.
@Arne_Christmann No, Microsoft went completely silent on this one so I chose another (non-Power Automate) path to meet my needs.
@peterof63 - I know its's been a long time.. I am facing the same problem. I need to dynamically create folders within a flow. Unfortunately, it is not working. Did you solve that problem, @peterof63 ?
Yes, I did. Tried both local paths and network paths.
Hi @peterof63,
It should not a local issue. Have you tried to create a new connection in the file system?
Tried that before and it doesn't work (at least here it doesn't).
I guess I just ran into some Flow bug. Could it be a localization issue (I'm running a dutch environment)?

I guess you're mixing up my question with someone else's?
Though I directly would want to inquire if there's any follow up on my issue?
Yes I did and that didn't work either.
