OneDrive Folder Path Unsuccessful

Posted on by NS-24060010-0
Hi, I'm trying to create a Power Automate flow for the following: If an Outlook email comes in with a specific subject line and has an attachment, then copy the attachment to this folder in OneDrive/Email/Attachments/Resources" (example). Unfortunately, the folder field I type in seems to fail when I test (shows bad request).  How should the format of the OneDrive folder path start? Is this correct ("/" in the front of the name)? /Email/Attachments/Resources

    The path format itself looks correct. For OneDrive actions such as Create file, a folder path like /Email/Attachments/Resources should work if the folder already exists. If you’re getting a Bad Request error, try selecting the folder from the folder browser in the action instead of typing it manually,

    Yes, /Email/Attachments/Resources is correct.

    If you are getting a Bad Request error:

    • Check that you are using a OneDrive for Business and not the personal connector.
    • Test by using the folder picker in the action instead of typing the path manually.
    • Share the exact error message. 
    Thanks!
