    Hi @KrishnaV ,

     

    I don't know what you mean by the control. Can you explain further? i just tested the download of the attachment file on other browser. Apparently it worked except for Google Chrome. I have no idea why.

     

    I think i am not the only one facing this issue. You can refer it here : https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Google-Chrome-is-not-opening-attachments/m-p/568199#M176381

     

    Looks like the power apps team are looking to fix this issue.

    Hi @CYJ ,

     

    Most of the time I have seen attachments won't work if there are any changes at the list level. So I have suggested to open the app in edit mode and remove that control on the form and add it again.

     

    I am very glad that it is only a browser issue.


    I hope this resolved your issue if you see any challenge/need further help please let me know I am always happy to help.
