Known Issues and Limitations
- Simultaneous file modifications made by other flow runs, parallel foreach executions, and manual edits are not supported.
- Shared spreadsheets are not visible through the file picker UI component in Power Automate/Logic Apps. As a workaround you can provide shared spreadsheet ID as custom value input. This ID is the value between the '/d/' and the '/edit' in the URL of your spreadsheet. For example, consider the following URL that references a Google Sheets spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/spreadsheetId/edit#gid=0 - Spreadsheets located in shared drives cannot be selected in any platform. You can use a workaround mentioned in the previous step in case of Power Automate/Logic Apps.
