    What do you have in that Compose action?

     

    You are getting that error because the file content contain some suspicious data, which can be used for a cross site scripting attack.

     

    You can look for alternative solution like create file via Graph API: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-put-content?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#http-request-to-upload-a-new-file

    In realtà il problema è che hai usato la create file di one drive (icona blu) anziché la create file di sharepoint (icona verde) di conseguenza non ti accetta il percorso della folder di sharepoint
