The attached path variable works when the Desktop flow is run manually
When flow is triggered by a Cloud flow the error says that the path has an illegal character
Can anyone tell me what the path should be changed to?

If this is a shared drive, then map your drive to a specific drive letter and configure your variable with the drive name and folder name.
Refer the below link for mapping shared drive-

Hi @garthh ,
As per my understanding,this can happen due to differences in how cloud and desktop environments handle backslashes (\) or forward slashes (/).
Use Consistent Slashes:
Cloud environments often prefer forward slashes (/) as path separators.Change all instances of backslashes (\) in your path variable to forward slashes:
Path: //DBL-DC1.db.local/Company/Deposits
(Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)
Thanks & Regards
