Get File Content - Error "status": 413 - The File exceeds the maximum 30 megabytes

[Anonymous]

  Hi, 

Any work arounds for the following scenario?

"status": 413,
  "message": "The file contains 32.009 megabytes which exceeds the maximum 30 megabytes.

I'm trying to copy a file from a network drive to Sharepoint cloud, using data gateway and flows. But flow seems not to like files larger than 32 MB.

My Flow as below:

The condition is to filter out the folders

The flow fails on the step "Get File Content" for files larger than 32 MB.

A

Any work arounds here?

Thanks,

Usher

Hi @Anonymous,

Currently, the max limitation of message size of Microsoft Flow is 100 MB, pending support by individual connectors/systems. Say if the service that Flow connects to only supports 5 MB, then that is the maximum limit for that service. However, Flow itself imposes the 100 MB limit, so even if the service supports 1 TB, only a 100 MB message/file can be used.

About the error message you mentioned, it seems that only files that less than 30 MB can be used. I made some research and I found that the error occurs due to limitations of your target IIS Server.

Please take the following blog for a reference:
