Send photos from power apps to sharepoint offline

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi everyone,

 

My question is about adding photos from Power Apps to SharePoint offline.

I am working on an offline mode and I was wondering if it was possible to add photos taken during the offline use of the application to a SharePoint list.

I am using collection to store the other information but I can’t find a way to take photos with the control camera, store them in a collection and then send these photos to SharePoint when we have connection. 

 

I've seen the method where we use a flow but how can I make this work in an offline mode ?

    Offline mode is only saving data localy and when you are back online, you submit. Using flow, patch, what ever you want.

     

    You need to use the LocalData, SaveData and LoadData and Connected function.

    Hi @Nogueira1306, thank you for you reply. 

     

    Sorry, my question was too vague. Right now I saved my photos in a collection but then when I use a flow to transfer photos from Power Apps to SharePoint I store them in a SharePoint library and not a List. So then when I want to use ClearCollect, LoadData and SaveData it doesn't work. Do I have to store them in a list ? If so, I don't know how to do that because all videos i've seen stored them in a library. If not, how can I call ClearCollect etc with a SharePoint library and not a list ?
