I'm having a problem with the "Copy FIle" function used in conjunction with the On-Premises Data Gateway. My intent is to save the email attachment (a PDF) to a local file share: \\ServerName\Share\Folder\ I've built the Flow, I've added the Gateway, I've installed the On-Premises Data Gateway on a local PC. but every time the Flow runs, I get the error below:

{ "status": 400,

"message": "The character '\"' is not allowed in file paths, remove or replace it before retrying.\r\nclientRequestId: 8150c0a2-c009-459e-a372-28204949332f",

"source": "filesystem-wus.azconn-wus.p.azurewebsites.net" }

I've tried several different variations of the file paths as shown in the picture below .. but every time, I get the same message. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I can't figure it out and I can't find any reference to this error anywhere on the net. Any help would be appreciated.

And just in case it helps with troubleshooting, the "Source URL" message under the Inputs section below is:

Hi @ BayouJeff,

How do you configure the Root folder in your connection?

I have made a test on my side and have created a connection as below:

The Root path is “C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\1\2"

And if I would save the file in the path is “C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\1\2", I could add a "Create file" action to create the file, and I could choose the file path in the "Folder Path" field of the "Create file" action.

You could refer to link below to see the similar post:

Please take a try to use the "Create file" action instead of the "Copy file" action and let me know if it helps.
