If File Exists issue - File on Network folder - update issue?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 214

Hello, 

 

I had a flow that was working on the prior version of power automate desktop. This morning I updated to the latest version, and one of my flows seems to not be workings.

 

I have a flow that looks for a specific file to be dropped every day in a folder. 

 

This folder location also acts as a historical record, so I have changed the flow to adapt to look for todays date in the file naming scheme. 

 

Ever since I updated to 2.26.139.22312 it seems that this flow is not noticing that the file is in the folder. 

 

I have double checked the file name, and there are no spaces or anything that is different.

 

See video attached below.

Any insight or suggestions would be most appreciated.

    UPDATE, 

     

    I have discovered that after the update for some reason my PAD is unable to access any of my network drives, and only has access to my own C drive. 

     

    Weird.  

     

    Anybody have any similar issues?

    Hi @mcnemare1 

    I have checked the video.

    I will recommend to use the full network path notation in place of the drive letter F:

     

    The one that you used to map the F: drive

    UPDATE-

    So after restarting my PC this morning, the drives came back.

     

    I will be changing file location references to UNC format as suggested by @VJR  above. 

     

    I did a test run on a few variables in UNC format this morning and it worked.
