    You cannot upload a file using Power Apps into a SharePoint Library without a Power Automate Flow used as well. This video should be able to step you through the process.

    Where does the information relating to the document reside? Are these fields that need to be automatically extracted from the document, or would they be added by the user operating the power app? If input by the user, the following would work. 
     
    • In Power Apps, use an Attachments control (or Add Picture/File picker) to let the user pick a file.

    • Call a Power Automate flow with a PowerApps (V2) trigger that accepts a File input.

    • In the flow, Create file (SharePoint) to your library, then optionally Update file properties to set

     
    If you need to extract these fields from the document itself, you could extract these from the document via a number of different methods. I would just need specifics on where this information resides in the document (metadata or on the actual document)
