Hi @Ryan Reddy

Based on my research, if you would like to save emails with attachments to OneDrive or SharePoint, you may consider trying the following design:

When a new email arrives (V3) > check the property “Has attachment” >use the action Create file in OneDrive or SharePoint.

If you are using Power Automate Desktop, you may also refer to the documentation here: Outlook actions reference - Power Automate | Microsoft Learn.

The documentation outlines parameters for actions such as saving attachments into a local folder.

Please note that this approach currently applies to Classic Outlook.

Since this forum does not have a dedicated Power Platform tag, you may receive more relevant guidance by posting your question in the Find Answers | Microsoft Power Platform Community. It is an active community where many experienced members are willing to share their knowledge and practical guidance based on similar environments and deeper domain expertise.

I hope this information helps provide additional clarity.

Good day, Vergil

I have been just under many projects at the moment I have run into an issue regarding the one drive, I will attempt the SharePoint flow as the one drive has been giving me issues.

I will definitely provide feedback on this.

As soon as I get the chance.
