Create File (File System) Only Works when I am logged in

This is a very frustrating issue and defeats the purpose of "Automation"

 

I have a flow that is very simple. It takes an attachment from my inbox and moves the attachment to a local folder on a virtual machine.  When I log into the virtual machine, the flow runs fine.  When I am not logged into the machine, I get this error:

The flow works just fine if I am logged in:

This issue is affecting multiple flows, so I know it is not something specific to this flow.   

 

I cannot seem to create files on this VM unless I am logged in.  Does anyone have any ideas?
