Hi Harold & PG Team:

After numerous testing, together with Brian, based on your sample apps and some limited information from Help file, we wish PG team to consider:

1. Detail explanation on how to include MEDIA (images, audios and videos). Column in Excel File (e.g.:./FileName_images/X.png or X.jpg) - currently the Sample Apps provided show only Image, but Not audios and videos.

2. When saving and writing images into Dropbox (for example), the SAVED Images will NOT be saved into existing images folder (e.g.: FileName_images), but instead, one new folder is generated, and named automatically as powerapps - FileName_images, to contain all the NEW images saved from within the apps.

It means - in the end, there are two folders containing images: one for existing original images loaded earlier on when creating the apps, and another one for containing new images saved from the apps.

3. Filename save into the auto-generated folder: sometimes it is referred to as:

- .\powerapps-FileName_images.\bafe63dd94bbd12efb514411c9d5956a.jpg, &, sometimes as :

- https://msmanaged-na.azure-apim.net/apim/dropbox/abc6981ac562f7ba9b3441b9edd9ab91/datasets/default/GetFileContentByPath?path=%2Fpowerapps+-+contacts+%28samples%29%2Fdata_images%2F7a8d58ad2e109c9bcc900f1a7e355294.jpg

4. Add Picture - we can add picture temporarily into an Image container within the apps, and no way to PATCH into excel file and image folder. Please provide syntax for that or is there any bugs.

These are examples faced during few days of testing and verification with Brian and I am sure Brian have other issues as well to share here for PG to look into them seriously.

Thanks.
