Power Automate sharepoint get file content access denied

Posted on by 2

Hi Community,

I met with an issue, which I think is quite strange. So I am trying to build a flow to download the file from sharepoint to onedrive, and I used "get file content" under sharepoint tools trying to read the file content first. And unfortunately I got an error of "403: Access denied". However, I am already a visitor of the site, and I can view/ access/ manually download the file from the site. I am a bit confused then is the reading access not enough to get file content from sharepoint site?

The issue is that because of the access control in our company, so I cannot get the edit access for the site I want to access. Do you have any kind of solution regarding my case? Thank you very much!
