@Anonymous , Will there be only one attachment to list item or multiple attachments?

For only one attachment:
Add a button in your gallery and use below formula on OnSelect:

Launch(First(ThisItem.Attachments).AbsoluteUri)

For multiple attachments per list item:
Add a new gallery within your existing gallery and associate its Items property with ThisItem.Attachments
Within this new gallery you can use ThisItem.DisplayName and other properties to show data
To download an attachment add a button within this new gallery and use Launch(ThisItem.AbsoluteUri)
Reference: Showing attachments from a Sharepoint List

Hi @ganeshsanap;

I made a huge mistake, it wors, the problem, my gallery work with a collection that is connected with my SP list, the think is, i dont understand why it doesn't collect my attachments.

ClearCollect(ColecciónNPNF; AddColumns('NPNF prueba'; "Seleccionado"; false));;Refresh('NPNF prueba')
That it's my collection.

Search( Filter( ColecciónNPNF; If(Dropdown3.Selected.Value = "-Seleccionar-"; true; Resultado = Dropdown3.Selected.Value); If(Dropdown3_3.Selected.Value = "-Seleccionar-"; true; Estado = Dropdown3_3.Selected.Value) ); Searchbox.Text; "Title"; "Responsable"; "Responsable2" )
This is my gallery code.

Do you knowe how can i collect attachments in my collection.

@Anonymous , As per below link (which is very old), there is no way to pull the SP List attachments into a collection. Currently, we could only access the SP List item attachments within the Attachments control of a Edit form.

Can Collections have Attachments

Also, check this video if it helps you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds9yJZD6PVU

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want to collect the Attachments from your SP List into a collection?

Actually, it is a known issue within PowerApps app -- when collecting SP List records into a collection, it would not collect the Attachments column value from SP List.

Currently, If you want to collect the Attachments column value from your SP List into a collection, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs.

If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/idb-p/PowerAppsIdeas

As an alternative solution, you could consider add an nested Gallery inside your current existing Gallery, then set the Items property of the nested Gallery to following:

LookUp('Your SP List', ID = ThisItem.ID).Attachments

Set the Text property of the Label inside the nested Gallery to following:

ThisItem.DisplayName

If you want to download corresponding Attachment file from the nested Gallery, you could consider add a "Download" icon inside the nested Gallery, set the OnSelect property to following:

Download(ThisItem.AbsoluteUri)

Best regards,
