Building a file deletion management app

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello, I am getting my feet wet with power apps. I know what I will describe might be built as an app in Visual Studio (VB.Net e.g.) but  really would like to see how far we could do this with power apps (I figure I need the Gateway to access local files)

Have on a local on prem storage with files in different subfolders of a main folder. I want to be able to present these subfolders to a user in an UI, where he can chose either to delete this subfolder or move it to another folder. He would be making his decision on the most recent date of the file in that subfolder (or modified dat of the subfolder if ok), so that is displayed next to each subfolder. Of course I would log all this in a nice list per deletion routine so I would be able to see what folders were deleted and which were archived (moved).

 

All suggestions, ideas, etc  very welcome.
