Send Email attachment from uploaded via Forms - files become corrupt in email

Dear community

I face the issue with my flow which generally allows the users to submit a form with multiple attachments. The triggered flow will first store the attachments locally in OneDrive/Apps/.... before a file array links the corresponding files as an attachment to an email.

The uploaded files can be opened in the local OneDrive/Apps/ folder, but become corrupt when sent as an email attachment.

For example a pdf throws this error:

A word file throws this error:

After clicking Yes, the following message pops:

I use the following array 'FileArray'

And the following JSON:

JSON Schema:

{
 "type": "array",
 "items": {
 "type": "object",
 "properties": {
 "name": {
 "type": "string"
 },
 "link": {
 "type": "string"
 },
 "id": {
 "type": "string"
 },
 "type": {},
 "size": {
 "type": "integer"
 },
 "referenceId": {
 "type": "string"
 },
 "driveId": {
 "type": "string"
 },
 "status": {
 "type": "integer"
 },
 "uploadSessionUrl": {}
 },
 "required": [
 "name",
 "link",
 "id",
 "type",
 "size",
 "referenceId",
 "driveId",
 "status",
 "uploadSessionUrl"
 ]
 }
}

Further, I add the "Name" and “ContentBytes" to the array:

Finally, I use the FileArray for the attachment of the mail:

However, the files become corrupt. Any idea why this may happen? I have checked many posts already, but could not find any solution which worked for me.

Thanks
