Transfer file to Subfolder (accessible) but keep Root non-browsable/accessible

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
Hi - I am admin for my Team's Sharepoint library and I am trying to help a team member build a flow.
 
Flow is:
When a new email arrives (Outlook)
Get Attachment (Outlook)
Create file (Sharepoint)
 
I use this flow all the time with no issues, as I have permissions for all folders and subfolders.
 
However, for Create File step, the root folder is:
 
https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/Main
This field is OK
 
The subfolder is:
Main/Documents/Data/Valid
My colleague has permissions for Valid subfolder, but not the subfolders in between.
 
I would think this is a common set up - people have permission for a specific subfolder.
 
Can a Flow accept this?
We entered the path manually but it did not work.
 
Hoping there are suggestions for overcoming this.
 
thanks :)
