Help!

We have a flow which connects to an MS Form where people can attach files. On the Power Automate flow we collect all the attachments in an array, and use it to send an automatic email. The flow has been working for months, but since early Oct it gives an error on the get file content step. Below are screenshots of the parts of the flow which are failing, and the content of the Parse JSON.

Thank you.

CAN'T FIND FILES ATTACHED ON MICROSOFT FORM

Thanks CFernandes. The reason for the two variables is because there are two questions on the MS forms for uploading extra attachments, and due to the form’s branching, only one of them will be used on any given form response. This way we ensure we can catch the attachment, no matter which of the form branches are used. The variables on the Parse JSON are two different form questions, despite having the same name. We use this strategy on different steps throughout the flow and it doesn’t cause any problem. This flow had been working fine for many months, and suddenly it stopped working causing this error. It must be something that has changed either on Power Automate or on OneDrive. The MS forms attachments are automatically saved on a SharePoint folder, maybe OneDrive can’t open SharePoint files anymore?

At the first glace I see "Parse JSON" has the variable "Upload Extra attachment twice"

You flow should look like the screenshot below.
