Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello community members!

I hope you're all doing well. Today, I'm reaching out to seek your expertise and assistance in finding a solution for copying files between SharePoint document libraries using PowerApps and Power Automate. I have been exploring these tools to improve document management and collaboration within our organization, and I believe this community can provide valuable insights.

Requirement :

  1. We have to develop a PowerApps application with a screen that displays files.
  2. So Users can select one or multiple files from the screen.
  3. We want to enable them to copy the selected files from one Document library to another.

    Hello 

    You can achieve this through a power automate flow been imitated inside your PowerApps 

    Since its a multiple file you will need the For All function 

    First you need to create flow

    Select Instant Cloud flow 

    and add PowerAppsV2 connector

    The file to copy will be you fileiden 

    Fill in other options 
    and go back to powerapps to complete the solution 

    Add you powerautomate flow to your app

    Gallery1 = Display files 
    Add a checkbox to the gallery 

    On the submit button the Powerfx will be :

    ForAll(Gallery1.AllItems, Checkbox1.Value = true, "PowerAutomateName.run(idenitifer)")
    That should give you the required solution
