Hi All,

I would like to create an automated cloud flow that checks the size of an image being uploaded to a SP List. We have a PowerApp that allows users to upload a profile image, but we would like some alert should the user upload an image bigger than 11kb.

The column type we're using in the SP List is a image / thumbnail type

Anyone done this before?

Go to the document library that houses the list attachments and use "Get file metadata" to retrieve the file size.

Hi @AdamH ,
I made a template for your reference:
When sharepoint submits pictures to the image column, it is stored in this place
Here is flow:
When this folder has pictures submitted, the flow is triggered:

Sorry for the delay in getting back in touch.
It was easy to replicate that flow, but I get constant 404 errors. The flow saves ok, but flow checker informs me that the folder cannot be found.

Hi @v-chengfen-msft

I am so sorry, I missed the response email from this thread - Your original response did work, but I created the flow directly from the SP list which seemed to work. So I must have got the file navigation wrong somewhere when I tried to create the flow from PA manually.
