Get File Content - Error "status": 413 - The File exceeds the maximum 30 megabytes

(0) ShareShare

  Hi, 

Any work arounds for the following scenario?

"status"413,
  "message""The file contains 32.009 megabytes which exceeds the maximum 30 megabytes.

 

I'm trying to copy a file from a network drive to Sharepoint cloud, using data gateway and flows. But flow seems not to like files larger than 32 MB.

 

My Flow as below:

 

 

 

step_01.pngstep_02.png

 

 

The condition is to filter out the folders

 

step_03.png

 

step_031.png

 

step_04.png

 

The flow fails on the step "Get File Content" for files larger than 32 MB.

step_04_Error.pngA

 

Any work arounds here?

 

Thanks,

Usher

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Currently, the max limitation of message size of Microsoft Flow is 100 MB, pending support by individual connectors/systems. Say if the service that Flow connects to only supports 5 MB, then that is the maximum limit for that service. However, Flow itself imposes the 100 MB limit, so even if the service supports 1 TB, only a 100 MB message/file can be used.

    About the error message you mentioned, it seems that only files that less than 30 MB can be used. I made some research and I found that the error occurs due to limitations of your target IIS Server.

    Please take the following blog for a reference:
