I'm trying to get a first step connection working with Flow using the File System.
- I created a top-level folder on my local machine (c:\testfolder) and dropped a couple of files into it.
- I created a connection called "local-test".
- For Root folder, I used \\mymachine\testfolder. I assume that my machine can be accessed through the company gateway.
- For Authentication type, I used Windows.
- For Username, I entered my domain\username. I have also tried the format username@domain.
- For Gateway, I used a gateway that I have successfully used from PowerApps, though I was connecting to SQL, not my local machine.
It seems that an error flashed (too quickly to read). When I go back in, it didn't save the username.
The result is that, when trying to select a folder in File System in an Instand Flow for "List files in folder", I get "Error executing the api". I expect I set up the connection incorrectly, or the Gateway was set up incorrectly.
