    Hi @ Nouellet,

     

    I have made a test on my side, please refer to steps below:

     

    1. Add a trigger “Manually trigger a flow”, choose to add a “File” type of user input, the “File” type could allow users to input file, then choose a “Test” type of user input, the “Test” type could allow users to input the file’s name.
    2. Add action “Create file” of Onedrive Connector, choose a path in the “Folder path” field to save the file, choose the “File Name” dynamic content of the trigger in the “File Name” field, choose the “File Content” dynamic content of the trigger in the “File Content” field.

     

     

    The screenshots of the flow as below:

    The flow would run successfully as below:

    Regards,
