Extract Folder "Unable to extract contents of file" Status 400

Posted on by jnunn

Hello, I am opening another thread to discuss an issue many have been experiencing, but seems to be unresolved.

Here is my flow:

Here is a closer look at the error:

The condition step is not necessary. I only incorporated it as similar threads suggested it.

Regardless, the condition step passes, the issue is extracting the ZIP folder. Sharepoint can open the zip file, and nothing appears to be corrupted, so I cannot figure out what the issue is.

The zip folder contains several CSV files, which people seemed to have issues with in other threads.

Hopefully someone has a suggestion.

It seems I've solved my own question, finally. I tried many things, until finally trying the compression types. It seems sharepoint doesn't work with lzma or bzip2. It only worked with deflated, which is unfortunate since lzma compresses files much smaller. I plan to continue testing.

Unfortunately not. My solution ended up being to cut the CSV files into smaller ones, zipping with the deflated compression type and then letting Power Automate do its thing. That being said, I haven't touched this flow since I figured this out so it's possible that Power Automate can now unzip other compression types.

How can we create other type of zip files when creating these from within a flow?

I just keept looking at my flow for a solution and at some poit I changed the destination folder path and it worked. It seems like I had an error on the destination path. Hope it helps
