Help needed!!!

I want to create a drag and drop or browse box in my powerapps that would help me create a folder and subfolder structure in SharePoint document library for the files added in the powerapps.

Also when the form is in edit mode I would like to view the files in powerapps from the folder and subfolder path

Please provide solution to this.

Hi @Tejasvi

You can use the following articles as guide to create you folder navigation experience
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-b8w9ea1kk
or
https://matthewdevaney.com/power-apps-navigating-folders-subfolders-in-a-sharepoint-document-library/
and for the drag and drop functionality out of the box attach component allows you to do that. just make sure that at the end of your navigation app you have the attach compoent configured.
You can just create a form from any table with attachments columns and then copy and paste the attachment control out of the form.

that will allow you to customize where to upload the file you are going to add to the component.

you can find more details here:

Could you explain the collection that needs to create the folder and subfolder for files and how can we view the attachments in the component?
