Hello all,

I have created desktop flow works great but every time i try to access my it i get this error
Problem while executing action 'GetFiles'. Can't retrieve list of files in folder .

Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Modules.SDK.ActionException: Can't retrieve list of files in folder . ---> System.ArgumentException: The path is not of a legal form.

I changed all the get file to launch excel directly then i get the same error 'cant find the file'
when i test from desktop its works no problem.
Any tips?
