Posted on by daven2411

The latest update does not seem to recognise mapped drive letters. On my laptop drive X is mapped to a folder on a windows server but what worked yesterday does not work today. It says file path not found. Also, when I launch OUTLOOK in power automate, if it is already running the flow fails whereas yesterday, it didn't fail it just carried on.

Thanks for the response. I've reverted back to version 2.14 and re-created the two flows that contained references to network drives and all is well. I think I will stay on this version for now.

Hi @daven2411

Instead of drive letter it is a good recommended practice to use the format \\server\share
