Hi there,

I have a question is about creating subfolder in SharePoint Document Library. My big challenge is my dynamic folder path. that means:

Root Folder: A, B

Sub Folder: A1, B1, B2, B3

I would like to create a sub folder under B3, if there is any way to let user choose which folder path will be applied instead of typing the folder path by manual. I research documentation in the internet, It seems that we can only put the folder path manually.

Thanks

Hi @wshuo_h ,

I have made a test for your reference.
1. Create a Flow:
2. Here is my App.
1) Add 2 Gallery Control.
2) Add a Text Input Control.
3) Add an Icon Control.
Filter(Documents,'Folder path'="Shared Documents/")
ThisItem.'File name with extension'
ThisItem.'Folder path'
Filter(Documents,'Folder path'="Shared Documents/"&Gallery4.Selected.Name &"/")
If(!IsBlank(TextInput3.Text),CreateNewFolder.Run(Substitute(Gallery5.Selected.'Folder path',"Shared Documents","")&Gallery5.Selected.Name&"/", TextInput3.Text));Refresh(Documents);Reset(TextInput3)
Result Screenshot:
In addition, here are some links for your reference.

Hi @v-yujincui-msft ,
It seems to utilize the Gallery to get the current folder path. Is my understanding correct?? I also post another question in this forum <When we 'New' a Document Set : The requested opera... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)>. I have no idea if the Power Apps does not support my scenario. Thanks

Hi @wshuo_h ,

I added Documents as a data source. I can then display the root folder or sub folder by using the Filter() function in the Gallery's Items property.
The Text Input Control is for entering the new folder name(you could also put it outside the gallery control).
