Hi! I'm creating an app which a user can upload attachments from canvas app. Right now, i'm having a hard time on how can the user edit/delete/update files from the folder which the user will do from powerapps. Could this be done through edit form with attachment control? Thanks!

    Hi @ksestrada24,

    Do you want to edit files saved on your SharePoint Documents Library or files saved as attachments on your SharePoint list?

    This is different direction, which needs different solution.

     

    Power Apps does not support update file properties of files on documents library currently, it is better to use Power Automate instead.

    Hi @v-qiaqi-msft i wanted my app to be able to view/delete files from a specific folder in a document library. Is that possible by using only attachment control? Just like using it from a list by "ThisItem.Attachments". I am using power automate for uploading files. Thanks

    HI @ksestrada24,

    No, you could not view/delete files from folder in document library only using Attachment control.
