Unzip limitations

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hi,

 

I am using a flow that unarchives a file but run into limits of 100files in this archive. We can not find where to increase this value in the administrator interface. Can someone point me where to increase it if posible. Or is this a hard set limit that cannot be increased?

    I did an azure function (written in C#) that I call from power automate:

    https://clavinfernandes.wordpress.com/2019/12/09/invoke-an-azure-function-using-microsoft-flow/

     

    The problem is that the azure function has to be asynchronous because it lasts more than 2 minutes.

    Writing an asynchronous azure function is quite difficult.

     

    In the function, I use C# code to unzip the files and then write them on SharePoint.

    SharePoint,. (At least in my case).  Zip file size is maybe around 300MB. uncompressed file is around 1.2 GB

    Also having this issue!  Why?  Trying to get around xlsm limits of Excel connector by re-creating the file as a .zip and then unzipping to just target the xml of the worksheet I need, so probably too far down the rabbit hole anyhow.  But so close since the contents are just 103 files!.......

    I have this exact same issue.

     

    Have you had any luck in finding a solution or if these are hard limits or can be increased somewhere?
