'Extract archive to folder' failed - BadRequest - Status Code 400

Running out of ideas how to fix a pretty simple flow for extracting ZIP file in OneDrive for Business folder.

 

Tried various changes like different triggers, and overwrite off/on still exactly the same outcome.

 

UPDATE: I found that when copying ZIP file from FTP to OneDrive For Business, MS Flow changes the file slightly, which then breaks ZIP structure and doesn't allow extraction after this. 

 

Any recommendations, on how to copy ZIP files from FTP without affecting their structure?

 

 

Please help!

Hi @gentsuki,

 

Could you share more details on your flow? How is it created?

What’s the detailed error message?

I have made the following test to copy ZIP file from SharePoint library to OneDrive for Business, then Extract archive to folder.

It is configured likes below. Please check it for a reference and try again on your side.

hi @v-yamao-msft 

I have a similar flow extracting a folder stored in the SharePoint library.

Strange thing is that it was working before but it's not working anymore...

@v-yamao-msft  , please help me, i have the same error for below flow , error occurs in Extract folder STEP 😞

FLOW Unable to extract zip file to SP folder.JPG

 

Error message :

I have tried the same flow for a zip file that contains an excel file (xlsm)  and it did not encounter error.

 

The Zip file that i get this error  is one that contains a  CSV file in it .  Could it be that CSV files that are ZIPPED cannot be extracted ?

@gentsuki- similar problem here, though in my case I'm uploading to a SharePoint library. Sometimes the unzipping works, but often it fails. However, pressing "Resubmit" on the flow in Power Automate often works without any problem.

 

I saw a similar problem here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Connecting-To-Data/Sharepoint-Extract-Folder-gives-400-BadReques...

In that problem, the zip file contained a CSV file, like @JenVitug reported. Did your zip file also contain something similar? Mine doesn't contain a CSV file, but does contain XML.

I have the exact similar issue right now. My zip file contains CSV and XML 😉 did not really find a solution after few hours... any idea is warmly welcomed...

@JenVitug and @Spinner kindly ask you to share your solution if you could make it work ...

@marioS  It's not a solution, but a couple of days ago I introduced a 5-minute Delay action directly after the trigger. Since then all the runs have gone through successfully (so far).

@Spinner i will at least give it a try… will let you know if it worked…

Did it work or did you find another solution?

@El_Diego76 unfortunately it did not work with the delay. Still getting the same error... Other solutions are still appreciated

I am having this same issue, and I have also not been able to find a solution. Does anyone have any update on this?

one possible idea is to try to re-create the same flow from the beginning. I would assume that those art problems happen when microsoft would create new [versions] actions and silently stop supporting the old ones

I have managed to narrow down the issue, but I have not found a full solution to my overall issue.
My automation was designed to take file attachments from emails (in this case a .zip file) and then extract it to a specified folder.

I decided to test the 'Extract archive to folder' step separately using a simple "test.zip" file that I had placed in the source folder and it worked as expected. I then noticed (which I wish I had checked earlier), that the copy of the .zip file which was being created by the flow (from the email attachment) was becoming corrupt for some reason.

When I attempt to open it manually, I am getting the following error;

 

"Windows cannot open the folder.  The Compressed (zipped) Folder 'C:\xxx xxxx xxx\xxxxx\xxxx\xxxx\test.zip' is invalid."

 

A similar issue identified by the following, but it did not end up getting a resolution.

@27Merlins, I had a similar problem and tried to follow the steps from another post, just replacing One drive actions with Sharepoint actions and for me it worked.

I am also having the same problem with .csv files.

Same problem:
receiving .zip from mail
Creating in one drive 
Extracting in one drive (error)

The file is ok, one drive can open the zip. But extract action fails.

Try longer delay. Delay works for me.

Delay Works for me.

I have exactly same error code when I tried to extract archive to folder. The server need time to fully load the zip file. If the time is short then extract from non-fully loaded zip file, you will get an error.

Whether you're just getting started or you're a seasoned pro, Tuesday Tips will help you know where to go, what to look for, and navigate your way through the ever-growing--and ever-changing--world of the Power Platform Community! We cover basics about the Community, provide a few "insider tips" to make your experience even better, and share best practices gleaned from our most active community members and Super Users.   With so many new Community members joining us each week, we'll also review a few of our "best practices" so you know just "how" the Community works, so make sure to watch the News & Announcements each week for the latest and greatest Tuesday Tips!   This Week: All About Subscriptions & Notifications We don't want you to a miss a thing in the Community! The best way to make sure you know what's going on in the News & Announcements, to blogs you follow, or forums and galleries you're interested in is to subscribe! These subscriptions ensure you receive automated messages about the most recent posts and replies. Even better, there are multiple ways you can subscribe to content and boards in the community! (Please note: if you have created an AAD (Azure Active Directory) account you won't be able to receive e-mail notifications.)   Subscribing to a Category  When you're looking at the entire category, select from the Options drop down and choose Subscribe.     You can then choose to Subscribe to all of the boards or select only the boards you want to receive notifications. When you're satisfied with your choices, click Save.     Subscribing to a Topic You can also subscribe to a single topic by clicking Subscribe from the Options drop down menu, while you are viewing the topic or in the General board overview, respectively.     Subscribing to a Label Find the labels at the bottom left of a post.From a particular post with a label, click on the label to filter by that label. This opens a window containing a list of posts with the label you have selected. Click Subscribe.     Note: You can only subscribe to a label at the board level. If you subscribe to a label named 'Copilot' at board #1, it will not automatically subscribe you to an identically named label at board #2. You will have to subscribe twice, once at each board.   Bookmarks Just like you can subscribe to topics and categories, you can also bookmark topics and boards from the same menus! Simply go to the Topic Options drop down menu to bookmark a topic or the Options drop down to bookmark a board. The difference between subscribing and bookmarking is that subscriptions provide you with notifications, whereas bookmarks provide you a static way of easily accessing your favorite boards from the My subscriptions area.   Managing & Viewing Your Subscriptions & Bookmarks To manage your subscriptions, click on your avatar and select My subscriptions from the drop-down menu.     From the Subscriptions & Notifications tab, you can manage your subscriptions, including your e-mail subscription options, your bookmarks, your notification settings, and your email notification format.     You can see a list of all your subscriptions and bookmarks and choose which ones to delete, either individually or in bulk, by checking multiple boxes.     A Note on Following Friends on Mobile Adding someone as a friend or selecting Follow in the mobile view does not allow you to subscribe to their activity feed. You will merely be able to see your friends’ biography, other personal information, or online status, and send messages more quickly by choosing who to send the message to from a list, as opposed to having to search by username.
