Hi, good day!

I'm generating a simple flow that connects dropbox to sharepoint, while needing to update an excel file in one drive for business for the logs.

All actions were successful, file was uploaded to sharepoint and deleted in dropbox, excel file gets updated in both one drive for business and sharepoint, however, the file in sharepoint is corrupted.

Can you help pinpoint why this is the case?

Any lead is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Regards,

Marx

Flow goes like this btw:

Re: Cannot open excel file in sharepoint after MS Flow

Hi,

I have the same issue - where i create a excel file in a FTP folder - and all i want to do is move to a Sharepoint folder.

It was working fine 2 weeks ago. But now the file is corrupt when opening. I also tried moving to a onedrive folder and the same error message is appearing?

Any help here?

Re: Cannot open excel file in sharepoint after MS Flow

Hi marxbenedictso,

Could you share your scenario with more details? What would you want to get by using this flow?

I assume that you want to create a file in SharePoint library when the file is created in Dropbox, after the file is created in SharePoint library, delete the original file in Dropbox.

If yes, you may consider to create a simple flow likes below:

Then when you open the file created in SharePoint library, it will be opened without issues.

Please try it on your side. If I misunderstand your scenario, please feel free post back.

Best regards,
