    Hi @vrevankar ,

    I did a test for your reference.

    In my scenario:

    vyetonggumsft_0-1710496909733.png

     

    json()
    <img src="data:@{outputs('Get_file_content')?['body']['$content-type']};base64,@{outputs('Get_file_content')?['body']['$content']}" />

    @vrevankar I have a different, slightly simpler, solution than that provided by @v-yetonggu-msft. Unless it's a group form the uploaded image will be saved to your OneDrive:

    The schema above in the Parse JSON action is:

    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    {
        "type""array",
        "items": {
            "type""object",
            "properties": {

                },
                "id": {

                "type": {},

        }
    }
    {     "type": "array",     "items": {         "type": "object",         "properties": {             "name": {                 "type": "string"             },             "link": {                 "type": "string"             },             "id": {                 "type": "string"             },             "type": {},             "size": {                 "type": "integer"             },             "referenceId": {                 "type": "string"             },             "driveId": {                 "type": "string"             },             "status": {                 "type": "integer"             },             "uploadSessionUrl": {}         },         "required": [             "name",             "link",             "id",             "type",             "size",             "referenceId",             "driveId",             "status",             "uploadSessionUrl"         ]     } }

    Hi @vrevankar ,

    Please check this test:

    First go to your SharePoint group site and check the folder path where the files uploaded by MS Form are stored.

    My Folder Path:

    vyetonggumsft_4-1710502690287.png

    My Flow:

    vyetonggumsft_0-1710508104227.png

    vyetonggumsft_1-1710508126299.png

    {
     "type": "array",
     "items": {
     "type": "object",
     "properties": {
     "name": {
     "type": "string"
     },
     "link": {
     "type": "string"
     },
     "id": {
     "type": "string"
     },
     "type": {},
     "size": {
     "type": "integer"
     },
     "referenceId": {
     "type": "string"
     },
     "driveId": {
     "type": "string"
     },
     "status": {
     "type": "integer"
     },
     "uploadSessionUrl": {}
     },
     "required": [
     "name",
     "link",
     "id",
     "type",
     "size",
     "referenceId",
     "driveId",
     "status",
     "uploadSessionUrl"
     ]
     }
    }

    Then copy the folder path to 'File Path' in 'Get file content using path'.

    vyetonggumsft_6-1710508872223.png

     

    /Shared Documents/Apps/Microsoft Forms/FormName/QuestionName/@{items('Apply_to_each')?['name']}
    dataUri(outputs('Get_file_content_using_path')?['body'])

    Hi @vrevankar ,

    There is a strange point, the reference flow I gave you last time I can't even display the picture when I use it today.

    As in your case, it took me a lot of effort to test.

    Found that you can't change the name of the upload file issue, you must keep the original name.

    So I've created another question to uploading files.

    Like this:

    vyetonggumsft_8-1710942383163.png

    Then I added a 'Question 1' folder to my library, corresponding to the 'Question' option to upload files.

    vyetonggumsft_1-1710941039302.png

    I've modified my flow a little further and this time I can upload multiple images:

    vyetonggumsft_2-1710941288221.png

    vyetonggumsft_5-1710941496594.png

    vyetonggumsft_6-1710941637268.png

     

    /Shared Documents/Apps/Microsoft Forms/FormName/NewCreateFolderName/@{items('Apply_to_each')?['name']}
    <img src="@{dataUri(outputs('Get_file_content_using_path')?['body'])}"/>

     

    My Outlook Inbox:

    vyetonggumsft_7-1710941968182.png

    Please remember not to change the name of the newly created upload file issue in MS Form, the exact reason is not clear to me at the moment, I need time to investigate.

    Best Regards,

    Sunshine Gu
