File System Get File Content got 404 NotFound Error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I'm creating a flow to get file from file system and get file content. The file system connector is pointing to "\\server\sharedfoldername'.

The flow can successfully list files from the file system folder. But finally it gets error at "Get file content" action:-

status: 404 
message: There is no file with name 'xyz.csv' located in '\\\\server\\sharedfoldername' on your file system. Verify the file exists or create it before trying to access it.

 

This is my flow setup and result:

I'm sure the file exists in the file system folder. I also tried the followings but no luck:

1. use "Get file content using path" action to specify file path and file name

2. exclude subfolder before Get File Content 

 

I also observed that the flow can "get file content" successfully if I get files from subfolder of the file system folder. But it fails to get all files from the parent file system folder. I have already granted permission to the AD account to read files on these folders.

 

I read all similar posts and google for 2 days but still cannot find a solution. Any help would be appreciated! 

 

Thanks!
