Copy large files from dropbox to Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by RobertoGrau 2

Hello,

I have created a flow that periodically copies files from Dropbox into Sharepoint. It works just fine, except for large files. It fails in the Get-File-Content action with an error indication toolarge. Is there a way around this limitation?

Thanks
