I have a dataverse with attachment column for my file. The column is a file data type. Is it possible to show the attachment thumbnail and put it into an image control?? If it is not possible, is there any way to do this??

Thanks in advance!

    To my best knowledge, you are not directly allowed to show a thumbnail from Dataverse table's file column in a Power Apps image control. Please note that the image coloumn can help you to store thumbnail/full size  image for rendering.
     
    What you can do is convert the file column to image column (if it is feasible for you) or invite some workaround by using SharePoint or Azure Blob storage to store and reference thumbnails/images url in a P-Apps image control.
     
     
    Please let me know if this helps.
