How can I start a cloud flow from a sharepoint group that has been shared with me?

Posted on by

I need to sync a folder, from a remote group and environment that has been shared with me, to an SFTP location.

 

I have a flow working exactly how I want, for a folder within my own environment, but, while I can manually go to this folder, on this remote group, and access all the files perfectly, I don't see any way to access it, in Power Automate.

 

The specific 2 SharePoint actions that "fail" for me are "Get files (properties only)" and (within Apply to each) "Get file content".  For each of those, the only "Site address" options I have are within my environment, and if I try to manually enter the remote site, it says "No values matching your search" and wipes when I click away.

 

The particularly frustrating thing about this is, if I visit the folder on the remote group, there's an option there for "Power Automate", but then if I follow that link (attached), I have no way to select that folder as my source for a SharePoint action.
