For the action create file, the expression i used to obtain the name of the file i have input is 

string(triggerBody()?['file']?['name'])

and for file content is 
string(triggerBody()?['file']?['contentBytes'])
I don' t understand what i'm missing

    Find the answer.

    I forgot to add base64ToBinary.

     

    base64ToBinary(triggerBody()?['file']?['contentBytes'])

     

    It works now
