When using the "Get file content" action, the file content is encoded as Base64, which increases the size by approximately 3o% which could be the reason

Hi @EC-14041929-0,

Apart from what Vish WR ment ioned, can you please try with a smaller file first, let's say 20MB? It will prove two things one is Vish WR is correct and the another is the action "Get File Content" has file size limitations.

I am sure some clues I tried to give. If these clues help to resolve the issue brought you by here, please don't forget to check the box Does this answer your question? At the same time, I am pretty sure you have liked the response!
