Hi everyone,
I'm fairly new to Power Automate, and have recently been testing UI Flows. I have been trying to create UI Flows to automate some actions in a web app of my company, but when I want to upload a file or download a file from the web app I get stuck because the file explorer is not supported by UI Flows. Is there any workaround that will allow to save the files from the web app or load a file into the web app, like another Flow action or such?
I have seen some posts related to this issue but no solution. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance!

Hi @AEchaniz,
I see 2 different ways to do that:
The first solution, using Web UI flows as you currently do is to edit the script before closing and replace the "click" action on the upload field with a "send keys" action, with the path to the file you want to upload as a value. This will directly put the path to the file you want to upload in the upload field on playback and avoid having to open the file explorer. So you will need to change this action:

The second solution is to use WinAutomation to perform your recording. Softomotive, the company owning WinAutomation, has recently been acquired by Microsoft, which allows you to use WinAutomation directly in Power Automate. WinAutomation has a powerful recorder that you can use directly in your UI flow and could handle your scenario. More information here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/ui-flows/create-processes
Hope it helps 🙂
