Not sure if this has been answered or not, but I have a canvas app - reiterating a canvas app, not a forms app - and I want to find some way to have an end user attach a document(s) long with their submission. I'm currently using a patch function to send data from about 5-6 fields to a sharepoint list. Does anyone have any insight into how to do this? I am not using dataverse and I want to send the files TO sharepoint, not get them FROM sharepoint. I also watched a video where someone was using a camera function to do this, but they had a sharepoint form and I do not have that. Any insight would be appreciated - thank you!
Sending attachments to a sharepoint list via canvas app
Thank you all for responding. I was quickly put on another project and havent had time to come back to this yet, but I will review it hopefully in the next week or so.

There is one article by @matthewdevaney, specially for the sharepoint as backend, with sharepoint having multiple column type ( Single Line of Text, Multiple, Date, Person etc.,) this will cover how to patch all column accordingly.
Firstly, I need to be clear on exactly what your process is, but it appears you want to send some data fields to a SharePoint List and also have the user select a file attachment for this record.
The simplist and by far easier way is to use a Form with all the fields and an attachment control., then submit the Form. There are however a number of other options, but all will involve an attachment control (the only way you are going to have the user upload a file), either on a Form or copied from one.
Before I comment further, can you please confirm that this is what you are trying to do.
