Drawbacks of disabling "Allow Chunking" when creating new SharePoint File

(1) ShareShare

I have added Create SharePoint File action, and i disabled the "Allow chunking" as follow:-

I did so because i want to be able to override the file in-case it already exists as mentioned in this link https://sharepointstuff.com/2022/04/20/overwrite-files-using-create-file-action/ .. so i am not sure what are the drawbacks of disabling chunking (If any) inside Create File action? Also if there are drawbacks, then is there other approaches for creating new version of a SharePoint file using Power Automate?

Thanks

    Hi @johnjohn123 ,

     

    Its disadvantage is that if the file is too large, flow will report an error.

    Sorry i forgot its threshold (maybe 100M).

    So you can turn this setting off if your file content size is less than its threshold.

    If your file content size is larger than its threshold, then I suggest you create a 'if condition' in your flow to check your file list for a file with the same name before creating the file.

     

    Best Regards,
