Power Automate Desktop - Get file content OneDrive For Business not showing files

Posted on by LeviC28

Hi,

as the title says the Get file content action is not showing the files in my OneDrive for Business.

I have created connection references in power apps and it shows as a solution and valid connection in Power Automate Cloud.

I can select the connection reference when editing the Get file content action but when i select the files drop down it gives me this error (see below, sorry about the potato quality picture, i couldn't get the error to show while i was screenshotting). Any advice helps.

Failed to retrieve the available data. Please check your internet connection or try again later.

Thanks!

Hi , @LazoC28
Can you try to re-create the connection in your side:
I test it in my side which works good in my side.

Best Regards,

Hi Yueyun,
I created a new connection in Power Automate Desktop by going to Connection referencs>Add new connection reference>create new. The connection is successfully created but I am still getting the same error. Please advise

Can you also try the "Get file content using path" action? Just curious if that has same error.

Also, I saw you created a new connection. Please also delete any existing OneDrive connections to ensure it's not trying to still use those.

Ok I so I tried both and neither worked. I did get it to work on another machine using the same connection reference.

On the machine that is not working, I deleted from Machines in Power Automate cloud and reinstalled Power Automate Desktop and machine runtime, then readded the machine and it still doesn't work. The machine is successfully added to my environment. The ONLY difference I can tell in the working and nonworking machines is when you go to Power Automate cloud> Machines > Select machine, in the top right where it says connections.

See photos below

The working machine shows a connection with a microsoft account. The nonworking machine does not. I cannot find any documentation on how to connect a machine to a microsoft account. I am 99% sure this will fix my issue. Any advice on how to do this is much appreciated. thanks!
