I have built another smaller flow to give a better overview of what I want to do. It is only important that all documents are found, so that I can use the names for later comparison.

I use 5 steps:

1) trigger manually

2) get files (properties only)

3) initialize empty variable

4) append in loop for all names and path from (2) to the variable

5) compose.

The right side of the flow is unimportant for this. But it might be interesting that "get the file metadata via path" (first on right side) provides the desired information about a file that is not found on the left side. So in principle, Power Automate can find this, but did not do so when retrieving multiple files (2) on the left side.

Extract of the folders in shared documents:

Both folders contain a large number of files (pptx, xml, docx, pdf...).

Run 1:

You can see in the first run how at least 16 files are found in the "Infoscreen..." folder. In fact, there are significantly more.

Run 2:

In the second run "Projekte" nothing is found.

I have now noticed something interesting. All files found were created before 2020. Editing obviously has no effect.

But in run 2, however, there are also files from before 2020

- Output:

[name: path, created, edited]

Could it have something to do with the date? I hope this information helps to better understand the problem.
