I have a powerapp new form with SharePoint as the datasource. In the newform, documents which user uploads in attachment control gets stored in document library.

The attachment field only allows ppt/doc file types. I have added a validation for the same in attachment control.

I also need to restrict the same in Upload Document screen, where user cant even upload other file types. May i know how to achieve this? Screenshot included below. Instead of All Files, it should only show PPT or docx

Hi @Iantaylor2050 , @AhmedSalih is correct. There is no such OOB feature. Please check this: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Allow-only-some-file-types-as-attachments/td-p/469316

Re: Restrict file type in file Upload window

Hello, @Iantaylor2050, there is no OOB control you can use to achieve this. If you are using the attachment control to attach the files, you can use the Find function to look for the file extension that you want to allow and based on that you can disable or enable the save button.
