Get Files step also returns folders, not just files

Posted on by AntDim

Hello, I'm using a 'Get files (properties only) in my flow hoping to get an array of files as per a filter query I have set up.

The flow runs successfully however this step also returns folders (as items) in its output, not just files. For example, if I have a "File A" inside "Folder A", then the flow may returns 2 rows (one item: "File A", second item: "Folder A") which is not what expected/desired.

Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance.

Hi @AntDim

The action 'Get files' returns both files & folder in the output. To get only files, you can use filter query as shown below:

FSObjType eq 0

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.
