File Size over limit

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hi,

I built a simple flow that is scheduled every week: it copies the content of folders from Sharepoint to a folder on Sharepoint, whose name is the date (kind of a backup). I didn’t have issues until today: the flow stops and reports an error when attempts to copy files once the folder is created. The error is: “File size over limit. clientRequestId: 12ff8928-d88a-4a38-9519-f8615f73ada2”. I do not recall having big files on the source folder.

Thoughts? Thanks.

    Hi @RRVizuete ,

     

    There is a 100 mb limit but I recall the error is a bit different.

     

    Does it always fail at the same file?  Can you find out what the size of the file is?

    Dear Partner,

    I will advise checking the size of the file. 
    is there any approval action involved?

    Hi Eric,

    There is no really way for me to tell which file makes the flow not to work. I use the “Copy SharePoint Folder” connector, so I do not know how to narrow down the root cause.

    Thank you for the response, Mohamed.

    See below snapshots of the output report and the node where the flow fails. I use the “Copy SharePoint Folder”, The flow does not copy individual files, but entire folders, so I am not able to identify the file that is causing the issue. There is no approval action involved.
