Get attachment content failing

(0) ShareShare

Good day,
 
could use some help. My get attachment content action keeps failing. 
 
This is the flow:
 
When I run it, the get attachment content always fails:
 
 
This is the error message I receive:
 
 
These are the parameters:
Every troubleshooting suggestion I've found has said you should check the ID. I've triple checked it. I've deleted and imputed it again. I've even deleted the entire flow and created it again. The ID is definitely from the Get items action and the file identifier is definitely from the Get attachments action. 
 
Any idea what else could cause it to fail?
 
Thanks.

    Try using Get File Content instead of Get Attachment Content.
