Files troubleshooting

Upload/Create files when using ApplicationIdAndSecret authentication type

When connecting as a Service Principal, you don't have a "personal" OneDrive, because you aren't authenticating on behalf of a user. Therefore, you can only create a workbook or upload a file in a document library of a SharePoint site to which the Service Principal has access.

Make sure your Azure registered application has at least the following Graph API application permissions: Files.Read.All, Files.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All.

Expose file size for downloaded files

Starting with v2.0.0, to retrieve file size for downloaded files (e.g., from a Download File activity), you can use the following method in a Log Message activity:

GetSizeInBytes()



Note that the size may not be accurate or a value of -1 can be retrieved if the size can't actually be determined.
