MS Forms + Sharepoint Create File From Path "File not found" error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

I'm trying to design a Flow that involves a MS Form with multiple upload fields plus additional entries to allow users to upload material which is then auto-categorised with consistent file names into a standard file structure. After some trial and error, I got this working for a single upload field using

 

Parse JSON

Get file content using path

Create file

 

This worked fine, and I then started replicating it for multiple uploads. Still fine, with lots of testing to make sure all my logic was wired up correctly. After a certain number of replications, I now get on the most recent one:

 

Action 'Get_file_content_using_path: 15' failed
Error details:
File not found
clientRequestId: aefbf45d-a1c2-42b3-937b-cc1d6029b04f
serviceRequestId: aefbf45d-a1c2-42b3-937b-cc1d6029b04f
 
The Parse JSON step works and returns the correct path. Within Get File Content Using Path I can also see the correct path and when I copy/paste into the browser I can see the file there.
 
But the output of the block is:
 
{
"status": 404,
"message": "File not found\r\nclientRequestId: aefbf45d-a1c2-42b3-937b-cc1d6029b04f\r\nserviceRequestId: aefbf45d-a1c2-42b3-937b-cc1d6029b04f"
}
 
The files I'm uploading have no special characters. I've tried deleting the Form questions and Flow blocks corresponding to this file, and rebuilding them. I'm tearing my hair out because everything I have done is exactly the same as last time and just no luck. I'm wondering if the hours and hours I have invested so far are completely wasted if I can't finish off the Form (but I don't have a good alternative at this point).

    Quick update: switching to Get File Content using the ID has the same issue.

    I've found if I delete the Form questions that are erroring and delete the Flow logic, then recreate them, I can *sometimes* fix the error. This is infuriating. The files exist in the URL given, WHY does Flow/Sharepoint say they do not??
