Hi,

I create a flow and it work fine most of time, but sometimes i got an error

File Not Found

this is a little part of flow, everything very easy - Get attachment from Sharepoint item, create file to library and delete attachment.

but now I got an error three times and the situation is strange

so:

1) flow got an error, but library show me that file was created

2) But... folder is empty when I open it. And when I would like to upload a file by hand...

So, when I restart a flow, it told me that file already created and please change a name.

I hope somebody already check this issue and can help me.

Hi @shnurich,

I couldn't repeat the issue you met, I guess it is caused by the SharePoint service issue, some requests were lost, and create file failed. As a workaround, you could create a temporary folder to store the file, then use Move file action move them into the destination folder, because Move file action support set if another file is already there, it could cover the same name file:

Hello @shnurich,

I faced the same problem. You can also use a Compose with the "Body" of "Get attachments content" as input. Then use the output of the Compose as File Content in the next step. It worked for me.

Best Regards.

I have found an additional, perhaps more true source of this issue. Create File will not process filenames with the # (pound/hash) symbol. I have a flow that grabs emails and attachments, creates files from the names, and I have 100% failure rate on any message that includes a pound/hash symbol in the subject line/proposed filename. I will post my solution to avoid the error when found.
