Hi @phearin

I'm not familiar with BOX but normally when uploading a file using flow you need to use a similar format to the one below. This example is from uploading to Jira but should work anywhere where the 'file' option would work in Postman

{ "$content-type": "multipart/form-data", "$multipart": [ { "headers": { "Content-Disposition": "form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=XXXXX" }, "body": XXXXX } ] }
The 'body' should be the file content you get when retrieving the file.

Hope this helps,
Sam

Dear @Anonymous ,

Thank for your comment, but it seems I couldn't get it from your below clue.
I have sharepoint which store attached file (Any files) when user is uploading. then what I want is: to fectch the attach file on SharePoint to store it on BOX. This is the idea.

Thanks,
Phearin

Hi @phearin ,

Please refer to the following method to configure Flow.

Use Get attachments action to get all the attachments in the item, then configure Get attachment content action to get the attachment content.

Finally use Create file action to create a file in Box.

Image reference:

If you want to store all the attachments contained in the list in Box, you could use Get items to get all the items first.

Please take a try.

Best Regards,

Hi @phearin ,

Please use When an item is created as a trigger.

You want to get the attachments contained in the list item, not the files in the SharePoint library.

I have created form from scratch and connect it with data source in sharepoint. Then I tried to add attachment field to the form. However, when I am tring to run it, it won't show me with correct form of attach file. It said "No item display".

Hi @phearin ,

Sorry, I am not familiar with the contents of PowerApps, I am afraid I am not able to give an accurate workaround.

Please consider submitting your question here, I believe that you would get a more professional solution here.
