Get File Content with Path not showing all folders

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 87

I am using Get File Content with Path to try and fetch a csv file. I have access to the folder it's in and can view everything in OneDrive just fine. However, when I try and navigate to the folder via the tool in the get file content action, the folder doesn't show up. The weird thing is that another flow uses the same folder and when I built it the folder showed up fine. Manually typing in the file path does not work either. Tried in both the old and new designers. What am I doing wrong?

 

Update: I tried moving the file to a different folder and it still doesn't show up. The file is automatically put there via an automated workflow that someone else built and is not in Power automate. I have "can edit" permissions on the file.

    Hi @elbent 

     

    Are you using the SharePoint get file content or the OneDrive Get file content? Because you say you can see it in OneDrive, but just making sure which you are using.

     

    I know its probably like no way

     

    1. Make sure its the Same Environment

    2. Make sure its the same ROOT path - many times the same structure is used in companies over different folders. I am thinking you maybe in the wrong root path

     

    Save and Refresh your flow (but again make sure your SharePoint / OneDrive is in the same Tenant and Environment.


    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers

    Thank You

    I'm positive it is the same environment and root path because other items in the folder appear, but not the file I'm looking for.

    I figured it out. The Get File Content Using Path action is pointing to my personal OneDrive. I need to point it to a specific folder in a Sharepoint group. How do I do this?
