Hello,

I have approximately between 300 and 600 JPG files to add into my sharepoint list as attachments (one attachment per element).

Need to know what is the most efficient and fastest way to import these files to my sharepoint.

Thank you

Hi @Sormick,

Please explain further:

Where are the JPG files currently stored?

How do you determine which JPG file should be attached to which SharePoint list item?

Do the files need to be attached directly to list items, or would storing them in a SharePoint document library (with links in the list) also work?

Is this a one-time upload of 300–600 files?

Hi Ellis Karim,

These files are stored on local computer. need to upload them all (one-time) max 600 JPG files to my sharepoint list.

One attached file per element on my sharepoint list.If i upload 300 files i shoud have 300 Elements and 1 file per element on my sharepoint list.

No links only as attachment on my sharepoint list.

need to find the fastest and the most efficient way to import them all at once on my sharepoint list.

Currently i upload them all to a specific folder on my sharepoint document library and one flow triggers automatically to create all these files on my sharepoint list and next delete them all from my sharepoint folder, but not sure this is the best way to import these files to my sharepoint list.

Keep in mind that SharePoint List attachments (like images) are not actually stored in the list. They are stored - wait for it - in a dedicated document library, much like what you are already doing. So maybe keep your original approach and handle this via hyperlinks.

Hi lbendlin,

Currently the images stored on "a dedicated document library" after using my flow are used to populate a gallery on power apps.

unfortunately i need them to be stored to my dedicated document library and not via Hyperlinks because i don't want to change all my current power apps gallery and functions. Just need to know what is the best approach to store these files on my dedicated document library.

Please find here a screenshot of 6 files stored on my document library.

My jpg files are named like this: "1.jpg", "2.jpg", "3.jpg", "4.jpg", "5.jpg", "6.jpg",
