Hi,
 
I have a power automate "cloud" flow in which an action adds a row in table in excel file stored in my onedrive account. It has been running well since 3 years and since few weeks I am facing an issue for the Action 'Add_a_row_into_a_table' , error message "You do not have permissions to open this file in the browser."
 
When I connect to my powerautomate account to review failed flow, when "resubmitting" it, with no fix actions before, flow sometimes run well.
 
 
I do not understant what is the root cause that make flow sometimes run and sometimes fails.
 
Thanks for your suppport.

    Thanks for advice.
    I am using a "Personal account" and using "Excel (Onedrive)" connector and when I just tried to edit and save flow I have this message :
     
    Has there been updates and are there limitation with "Personal accounts" ?
     
    Thanks.

    Hi,
     
    This largely sounds like a connection string issue.  Go to make.powerautomate.com and click on Connections.  Review you OneDrive for Business connection, reauthenticate, etc.  As you said, the resubmits often run with errors so it is likely an outdated connection string.
