SharePoint trigger - create or modified: Failing when file is over 100Mb

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 24

Hi All

I have a simple two step flow:

Trigger - when a file is created or modified in a SharePoint library (called BoxTransfer)

Step 1 - copy file to BOX.

 

The flow is initiated from another flow which transfers the file from a SharePoint library into the BoxTransfer library.

 

It works fine, except when the file being copied into the BoxTransfer library is over 100Mb in size.

 

In this case, it just sits in the BoxTransfer library and doesn't appear in BOX.

 

Looking for any assistance to solve this issue.

Thank you.

    Hi @Julie_D not sure if this will help but i found this on the limits aorund Power Automate: 

    Message size

    The following table describes the limits on message size.

    Name Limit Notes
    Message size100 MBTo work around this limit, consider allowing chunking under the action content transfer settings. However, some connectors and APIs might not support chunking or even the default limit.
    Note: When sending files through a connector, the overall size of the payload and not just the file needs to be under 100 MB.
    Message size with chunking1 GBThis limit applies to actions that either natively support chunking or let you enable chunking in their runtime configuration.

    Thank you. That might be the issue with the connector to BOX.
