    It looks like you used the driveitemid value in the File ID field.
     
    According to the documentation this needs to be the unique identifier of the file. Maybe they are talking about the GUID of the file instead. The documentation of the SharePoint Embedded connector is not entirely clear on that.
     
    Have you tried the GUID/uniqueid field value of the file instead?
     
     
    Happy to help out 😁

    Thanks for you reply, i tryed the GUID/uniqueid field value and it still wasnt working.
     
    However, I realised it wasnt working when i was renaming a file, and saving it to the same folder the file was from.
     
    When I tried renaming the file and saving it to another folder it worked.
