Create File Power Automate to VIrtual Machine unnatended Mode

Posted on by dsanchezgomez

I have a flow for downloading 2 files from SharePoint and creating these in a Virtual machine, once the files are created I run a Power Automate desktop flow in the unattended mode for transforming these

The issue that I am having is that Onedrive does not create the files in unattended mode, so the desktop flow is not working.

I already tried with the file system connector but considering the size of the files, it's not working.

Hi there, thank you for trying out Power Automate, does the issue occur on the cloud side or inside the Desktop Flow. In case it's the first, this post should be moved in Power Automate Community.

Thanks,
George

Might be because the machine needs time to sync the files?

The issue is with the desktop flow because the file is not created instantly. How much time takes to sync Onedrive with VM ?

How much time do you thin the machine needs to sync the files?

I would guess a minute or two.

You probably need to have the file names as PAD input, then replace parts of the path to match what the computer expects. After that, a Wait for file might be possible.

What do you mean with PAD input?

At this moment I'm creating the file in this way.
