Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on improving my contract management model-driven Power App. All contracts are uploaded to a SharePoint Document Library when using the app.

Current Issue:

When users create an email within the Activities/Timeline Panel and want to add a contract as an attachment, they can only select files from their local storage via the standard Windows Explorer file picker. Ideally, I would like users to be able to attach files directly from the related SharePoint Document Library, or even better, restrict the selection to files linked to the specific contract.

Potential Solution:

I came across the Attachment Manager on PCF Gallery, which seems like an ideal solution. However, I haven’t been able to successfully import it.

Question:

Is there a way to implement a SharePoint-based attachment manager in a model-driven Power App, allowing users to attach documents stored in the related SharePoint library instead of only local files?

I’d appreciate any insights or alternative approaches!

Best regards,
Leander

I suggest to create a virtual table linked on a Sharepoint list for your files. Then, you will be able to add it to your form in a grid to work with your files and link them on a record as a relationship.

Otherwise, you can build a simple embedded canvas app for your model-driven app to work with Sharepoint library. You simply create a gallery linked on your library and work with the files based on your model-driven record context.

I hope it helps you to answer your needs!
