    To upload a document to SPO list seems tricky. Below thread might be useful to you.

    Swetha, hello. I think Perumal is right and the solution is to use Flow.

    Where is your file to be uploaded stored?  On C: or somewhere else?

    Please let us know if you need more guidance.

    Hey,

     

    I am trying to build an app to upload a file to a Azure blob storage, and I have been able to upload a picture using the 'Add picture' control and Flow, but ideally I would like to upload a file.

    The Flow part I have got it sorted, but I can't find a way to give the user the control to select the file, I can't see any control that allows you to select a file, like the 'Add picture' one.

     

    I saw there is an idea about having one created, concluding that it doesn't exists at the moment, so I would like to ask you how did you got your users to select the file? What controls have you used?

     

    Thanks

    what file types can be imported to the collections? The tutorial file provided by MS worked for PriceList but how do I replicate that process.

     

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/create-update-collection

     

    Or is there another way to let the user chose the data source to be imported? It says zip files?xml files? Also what about text files? or excel ?

    yes MelindaK.

     

    I am also facing the same problem. I cant choose other files other than Images.

    I also have used Add Picture Control.

     

    Please let me know if you find anything.

     

     

    Thanks,
