Posted on by julian1994acuna

Hi All,

I'm a beginner at Power Apps. I've create an app that show files (images, excel, pdf etc.) from Share Point using gallery. Currently, I am able to open those files. Now I need download them on my mobile. I have tried download and launch function but all it does is just open the file in a browser. I'm also looking for a solution by using Power Automate, but I am also new at that so I have not been able to really find and test a solution.

Thank you

Hi @julian1994acuna,

Do you want to download files from SharePoint library on mobile?

Could you please tell me more about your scenario?

Actually, you could directly download files from a custom library you created on your side but it is not available for a default library like Documents.

You could use the following formula to download files:

Download("https://<site URL>/_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl=/sites/sitename/libraryname/filename.pdf")

Or you could create a share link to download it.

Here is a thread that I have answered, you could check either of the above solutions from there.

Hello,

I apologize for the late reply. To answer your question, yes I want to be able to download any file on my gallery. So currently, I am able to browse all the folders,all files etc(Except PDF, I'm receiving an error message when opening PDF files) on my gallery and access it. I watched some videos on Sharepoint Document Library browser and used it as reference on my app. Now, what I want is to be able to download any files on a single press of a button so it does not need to pop up and open in any browser at all. Is that possible? I've been searching for a while and I can't seem to find any solution.

Hi @julian1994acuna,

Have you checked my answer and the thread I posted in my reply?

I have mentioned that you could not directly download files from the default document library.

In native players (Windows, Android, and iOS), the user is prompted for a location to save the file.

Your browser settings determine whether to download the file or open the file directly in a new tab.

For more details, please check Download function for reference.

In a word, I am afraid there is no way to download files directly without opening a new web in PowerApps currently.
