One Drive Attachments - Missing

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2
Hello. 
I am new to using Power Automate so bear with me please.
 
I've made a flow to add attachments to be sent in an email draft. Everything looks good but when I select the file in List files in folder action, the folder appears but the contents inside the folder do not. Yes, I've double checked and when I look in One Drive and on my desktop the files are there.  A few things to note: These files are not in a shared folder, and these are pdf documents. Looking for clarification as to why this is happening. I do work for a Gov  company could it be that it's stopping me from attaching this pdf? Is it because these are in the form of pdfs, so it does not show up in the flow, if so, what format do the files need to be in (I've also tried to open an excel sheet and that did not show up either). 
 
In summary only the folders are showing up in the flow, not the contents inside the folder. Would really appreciate some guidance, thanks in advance.

    This is the correct behaviour of the List files in folder action: You select a folder, and during run time operation gets the list of files and subfolders in a folder.
     
    Are you looking to use a get file content action, such as Get file content using path?

    I am looking to list the files and get the content of the files. The issue is the content that is in the files is not showing up in the flow.
    Here is what is looks like for me, and the flow I'm trying to use.
