Attachment saved from shared mailbox to OneDrive/Sharepoint is incorrect

[Mat_SLP]

Hello All,

I have build simple flow that should download attachments from Shared Mailbox and save on OneDrive.

Trigger used: When a new email arrives in a shared mailbox (V2)

Flow is valid and works, but unfortunately as a result, file created on OneDrive is incorrect.

Saved file is empty (independently on the file format) - contains only metadata of file..

It looks like a bug..

I already tested different options:

- same flow with different trigger (On new email - my mailbox) - works correctly (so flow is correct)
- same trigger but saving whole email to .eml - works correctly (so all accesses are ok)

- same trigger and flow but saving attachment to Sharepoint online - file created incorrectly (like to OneDrive)

Do You think there is something incorrect?
Any idea for workaround?

My flow:

Did you try also to add 'Get attachments' action to get the attachment data before you create the file?

Also I see you're using the email subject as the 'File Name'? Isn't the file missing the file extension?

Hi @tom_riha 

Many thanks! That actually works! 🙂

and yes for subject it requires file extension - I used Subject with one of my tests. now I just use attachment name which does not require extension.

but a bit confusing that this additional step is required for shared mailbox and not for personal..

cheers!

I needed this step also for my personal mailbox, when I tried to 'Test run' run the flow, it always broke the uploaded file without it. So I had to either add this additional step, or sent a fresh email with each test run. 🙂
