Hi Experts, 

 

I am starting a new app which is a HR module. I have a field under personal information of the employee as employee Photo. I am not sure how to do that. 

 

How to include a column in SP for that purpose ? 

How can  include that in the powerapps?

    You’ll want to watch this tutorial by Shane Young for a full description of how to upload files and images to SharePoint. It’s a new video and it’s quite good.

    Hi @OsmandFernando ,

    Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

    Do you want to upload a image into a SP List or SP Library from a canvas app?

     

    If you want to upload a image into a SP List from a canvas app, I think the "Multiple lines of text" type column could achieve your needs. Please check and see if the following thread would help in your scenario:

    If you want to upload a image into a SP Library, please check and see if the following video resources would help in your scenario:

    In addition, if you want to attach the uploaded image file from your app as attachments of SP List Item, please check and see if my response within the following thread would help in your scenario:
