Flow always running as Owner
Unfortunately this is how Flow works. It executes the actions as the person that created the connections. Some actions like Approval now have options that let you tweak that. Approvals let you set the Requestor for example so the emails show they are from that user. But yes, if you are uploading files they show as that user instead. You could always use a service account which is common when you send emails, and in these cases you create a shared mailbox and have your user sendas from the shared mailbox. To my knowledge I also don't think its possible to change the CreatedBy or ModifiedBy in SharePoint Online. Regardless if you are on-prem or Online you can change those fields with a PowerShell script.

Hey Doug Allen
Thank for the answer, finally, i've changed the connection for the main user of the flow. It's not the best, but it works.
