Afternoon experts! I am new to PAD and am stuck on something.

What I'd like to do is run a PAD once a day which:

1. Lists each file in a SharePoint folder.
2. For each file, saves a local copy on the computer in a temp folder.
3. Uploads the files to the RIS on the computer via a UI action.
4. Deletes the uploaded file from SharePoint and the local temp folder, and loops around to the next file, until all is done.

What I am stuck on is saving the file from SharePoint locally. I've tried many different ways to do this, but get stuck on Argument 'BinaryData' must be 'Binary'.

I have tried some of the fixes in search results like using declared variables rather than those created on-the-fly by the step, but to no avail. I've also tried converting the output to binary - also to no avail.

Any ideas? Is it something to do with this?

It appears you have enabled Power Fx in your flow, which is causing issues, and unfortunately, once activated, there is no option to turn it off or disable it.

The recommendation is to create a new flow from scratch and disable Power Fx during the flow creation process, as indicated in the screenshot below. Then, create your flow how you created right now, and it should work without any errors.
