Hello everyone,

I have a canvas application where users have the option to attach files. I want these files to be stored in a SharePoint list, which acts as a database, without using Power Automate. Then, I would like to have the ability to download them later from the application.

How can i do this.

Thank you.

Hi @gikido,

If you want to add them as attachments, then a simple attachment control will do the job, however if you want to use a SharePoint Library, you will need a Flow.

What is it you want to do ?

Hi @gikido , You can directly save the attachment to sharepoint list from power apps using attachment control and forms .

1.create a form in power apps using the list as data source

2. add the attachments column in form fields

3. adjust the form mode (new for creation and edit for update of existing)

4. use submitform() or patch function to save the attachment directly in sharepoint list from power apps

for downloading the files , when the form mode is edit , you can click on the attachment present in the control it will download the file

Thank you for your response. What’s essential for me is to store the files and have the possibility to download them later without using Power Automate. As for Forms, I don’t use it; I prefer to use the Patch function with the Attachment control.

Thank you."

Hi @gikido,

You are going to need at least a Form with an Attachment control, but you can use Patch(FormName.Updates) to upload the fiel as an attachment. Downloading can be chieved by simply displaying the attacmnet control and the using clicking on the required file.I am not sure why you do not use SubmitForm - it is really as reliable a doing it manually with a Patch (you are actually using the same function with the Update of the Data Card
