hello!


1. I am downloading the image from the url as WebPageText. 
2. It then converts this photo to binary data. 
3. Then I want to load binary data to SharePoint.
However, it doesn't work.

 
In case
1. I download the photo from the url as DownloadFile. 
2. Saves the file to your local disk 
2. It then converts this photo to binary data. 
3. Then I want to load binary data to SharePoint.

It all works.
How to skip saving a file to disk?

    Thank you for choosing Microsoft Community.
     
    To skip saving the file to disk and directly upload the binary data to SharePoint, you can follow these steps:
     
    Download the Image as WebPageText: Use the Web.DownloadFromWeb action to download the image from the URL as WebPageText.
     
    Convert to Binary Data: Use the File.ConvertToBinary action to convert the WebPageText to binary data.
     
    Upload to SharePoint: Use the SharePoint.UploadFile action to upload the binary data directly to SharePoint.
     
    This way, you can avoid saving the file to disk and directly upload the binary data to SharePoint.
