Problems saving attachment on local fileserver via Data gateway.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by GKilsgaard 9

HI

I am trying to create a flow, that take attachments and save them to our local Fileserver via our datagateway.

I am doing this through the flow that are created for this in Power Automate.

 

But when the flow is running it fails, and from the error message I think the error is, that Power Automate inserts an / after the UNC path and before the filename:

 The credentials for this connection do not have access to '\\[Server]\[Share]$\kvalitet\LABCERTI\Sendte\/[Attachmen Filename],', please try using a different location or account.

 

Does anyone have any idear how to get this working with a local UNC path?

 

Thanks

/Graves

    Hello @Kilsgaard ,

     

    Would you be able to provide more details about how your flow is configured without disclosure any sensitive information?
    Are you using the connector below on the flow? I suppose you have a Premium License right?

    Hi

     

    Thanks for the answer :.)
    I found the problem, of course it was me. I looked at the logfiles on my DataGateway, and found that it was the credentials that i forgot to add to the local file connector.

     

    Sorry was joust confused by the / that is in front of the path, but it was a security problem..
