Upload documents to OneDrive in the right format

Hey guys, maybe someone can help me here:
I am trying to download documents from Typeform to Onedrive, using the Upload file function. 
From the Typeform output get two options to choose, one is a URL and the other the File Content [exists but not shown]. 
The URL I get there is not working, it differs from the output url I get in the Typeform (I don`t know why), but the File Content works somehow, it uploads the data in my OneDrive. 
The problem is: it uploads the data without an ending so I dont know if the customer has uploaded a pdf or jpg or whatever. So my file looks like that 


Does anyone know how its possible to get it as a pdf/jpg or whatever the original file was?

I tried it with a working file-downloadlink from typeform that is somewhat like https://api.typeform.com/responses/files/A lot of numbers and letters/name of the file.pdf
but I got to the same result, the file is without the pdf.

Thank you! :) ​​​​​​

If you leave off the file name then Zapier should use the file name and extension. 

Did you mention there was a file link that contains the extension.. something like >> https://api.typeform.com/responses/files/A lot of numbers and letters/name of the file.pdf

you could use a formatter to parse out the extension then append that to your new file name.

Can you share screenshots of your set up action for the Upload File in OneDrive step?

Yeah sure, I got it like that:

Ahhh I just realized, that if I leave the Filename free, it stays with the old name and than I have old format 🤦🏽. So if I put as name: Vollmacht_I_12312.pdf its also shown as a PDF. 


Problem is that our customers upload pdf or pictures in different formats - is it possible to rename it AND show the old format?
