List Sharepoint Files in Nested Folder

Posted on by ChamCR

I need to list the file names (using a Gallery) that are contained in a specific Sharepoint folder.

Problem is, my Sharepoint Document library has several nested folders and hundreds of files, and all PowerApp examples I have seen always start with the Document Library folder (root)... So when I add the Documents connector to the Gallery it blows up 😞

How can I tell PowerApp to start from a particular folder?

Thanks!

Hi @ChamCR ,

Libraries have a property called 'Folder path' and you can display this, however Filtering on it is not Delegable.

If you are never going to have more than 2,000 files and you set your Delegation limit to this, you could filter on the file path you are after. Otherwise, you could write the file path to a text field in the library metadata and then the Filter would be Delegable.

Thank you Warren. Creating the column and adding the path there worked perfectly for me!
