Hello all,

 

I am creating a flow to download files from company internal website (starting with file://///). 

When using HTTP to open the file link, there is an error. Do you know how to solve it? Thanks.

    Hi, really thanks for the recommendation.

     

    Actually, what I want to automate are: 1. automatic download a file from company intranet; 2. save the file in my sharepoint folder.

     

    The issue is that I am not able to get the correct URL. The link I use in my flow (see below screenshot) can be opened via explorer and I am always using this link to download this file. Not sure how to find the correct URL.

    @tiantiande33  You are not entering correct URl.

    I would recommend you to first identify the correct URI. For this you trigger the flow manually and leverage URI expressions to find the correct URI. once you have it, use it in your current flow.

     

    It would be great if you cold share the Workflow which you want to automate, asking it because I am guessing you could use FileSystem trigger instead if its on you network drive


    Thanks
