Copy attachment from Email to shared folder - The character '"' is not allowed in file paths

[DavyNix]

Hi All,

Have written an simple flow to copy an attachment from an inbound Email to a folder share (via on-prem gateway).  When I test the flow I'm getting the error:  The character '"' is not allowed in file paths, remove or replace it before retrying.
clientRequestId: 70e5c747-bbd5-405b-ad48-ad816ff34447

The path doesn't have " character within it.  Checked and double checked!  It does have a hyphen but that should be ok right?

If I change the path to have a final slash (\\XX1-FileServer\Office-ABC\FTP\FTP) then the flow doesn't return the error, but just times out with: Internal Server Error

What am I doing wrong?! 

Thanks in advance for any help...

Hi @DavyNix 

I'm going to help you with your issue. First, I saw in your screenshot that your trigger it's not including the attachments. Second, we need to use the Create File action to create a new File in your folder because the email is arriving with a new file. Please Take a look to the following flow as an example.

Let me know if this works for you.

Hi @miguelcas , thanks for the reply. I'm getting the error below.  It seems to be adding a / to the path.

and then displaying the error:  The requested action could not be completed. Check your request parameters to make sure the path 'C:\OnPremGateway\SB/new 2.txt' exists on your file system.
clientRequestId: 05f76566-a403-4a6b-9081-f0ee6d3b1f71

The attachment name is correct so I feel we're getting closer!

@miguelcas  Ignore me  - this second issue was caused by me not entering the user name correctly! User name must be Domain/username and not just UserName !!  Thanks for your help 🙂
