SharePoint Copy stopped working, cannot find file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by efroseroc 152

Hi, thanks for reading,

I have a flow that worked correctly for 3 weeks but suddenly I get this error:

"The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)".
The flow creates a weekly copy of a excel file and sends it via email.

The file is moved to the same site just a different folder:

I don´t understand why I'm getting that error.

Any help is greatly appreciated 

Thanks.

    Hello @efroseroc 

    When using the "Copy file" action, use an identifier as the file to copy instead of a file. You can get the identifier using the "Get file metadata using path" action:

    Hope it helps!

    Thanks for your answer! I tried it in the original Flow and didn't work but I created one from the ground up and finally worked.

    Best of luck.
