Respected partners.
Best regard.
The reason for my message is to ask for help. How do I select a SharePoint folder from PowerApps and in that same folder upload a file or several. Taking into account that it is already an existing folder in SharePoint, I must modify the files inside it and at the same time upload new files. For example, scanned PDF.
You can do this using Flow. Set your Flow trigger to "PowerApps", then add a new event for Sharepoint > Create File. You can set the Flow to accept the file directory, file name, and file content.
Hi EricLott.I tried several times, as you said. but when making the button connections with the different tools offered by PowerApps. I could not make the Flow work and save the file mentioned above in the specified folder.Thanks for replying and I would appreciate your help. To solve this issue.
What error are you seeing? The most complicated part here will be the File Content part. It requires a binary input for file content, so whatever you're trying to feed it needs to be a binary representation of your data.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think PowerApps could not achieve your needs. As an alternative solution, I think the combination of PowerApps and Power Automate (MS Flow) could achieve your needs.
More details about firing a flow from an app, please check the following article or video:

Please also check and see if the following video would help in your scenario (save any files from PowerApps app to MS Flow using Attachments conrol: )

Best regards,
Thank you for your answers and desire to help.
But I cannot find a solution to this process, I must clarify that I have been using the flows for different processes of my applications. And in several everything worked fine, I am in this process where I must select a folder from a SharePoint library in the first image I show it. And I have tried different tools of the flows and none works for me or I don't have the knowledge to do it. I consulted on You Tube and in several Documents that explained many things except the point I put on display in this help group.
Please ask for a clearer help since the last support I have is you.
Thank you.
