Hi BartlomiejJurek,

Thank you for choosing Microsoft Community.

To skip saving the file to disk and directly upload the binary data to SharePoint, you can follow these steps:

Download the Image as WebPageText: Use the Web.DownloadFromWeb action to download the image from the URL as WebPageText.

Convert to Binary Data: Use the File.ConvertToBinary action to convert the WebPageText to binary data.

Upload to SharePoint: Use the SharePoint.UploadFile action to upload the binary data directly to SharePoint.

This way, you can avoid saving the file to disk and directly upload the binary data to SharePoint.
