I have tried to add file attachments from a Microsoft forms response to an automated email, but when I try to open the attachment it will say the file is password protected. I've read a lot of feeds where it says the file isn't protected, but it is a corrupt file path. How do I fix my flow?
This is a known Power Automate behavior with Microsoft Forms uploads. The attachments aren’t password protected, they’re being corrupted due to how file content is handled.

Once file content is retrieved and passed correctly, the attachments open normally.
