Check out this post: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Connect-Gallery/The-Action-tool-reports-error-that-quot-fil...

Is the idea that the user can input any file type or a just .txt?

The problem here is that when configuring a .txt there are a series of additional layers that need to be defined by the user, such as the delimiter type.

In comparison such functionality is not needed when working with a .yxdb for instance.
