How to Preview documents in PowerApp

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I have a very simple problem. I want to select a document from SharePoint Library, which is connected to the PowerApp program (independent from file-format, pdf, docx, xlsx, pptx) and visualize it on a PowerApp.

 

Thank you for the time😊

    For a number of file types (you can visualise it in an image control with 

    ThisItem.'{Thumbnail}'.Large
