In one of my flow, I try to read a file from my local folder via gateway. But there is always credential issues. The question has been asked for in the following link. But it's not working for me.

    Hi @xierwee ,

     

    Please make sure the connection is successfully created.

     

    The following doc could be a reference for you:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/logic-apps-using-file-connector

     

    Further, about the Root folder, it should be a shared folder. Please right click the folder, then go to Properties to get the shared folder path likes below.
