Upload Photos to Onedrive From PowerApp

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I noticed today that ther is a onedrive flow available to upload files (photos) to OneDrive.

 

https://us.flow.microsoft.com/en-us/galleries/public/templates/050fc92d1a7b48ef86dd71a43b36890d/upload-photos-to-onedrive-for-business/

 

So I created a flow and saved it.

 

Flow

 

 I tested it and it saves photos in the specified directory in OneDrive.

 

testFlow

 

 

 

When I was trying to use it in PowerApp it doesn`t trigger the event to open directory. What I did I created an image and OnSelect called for  CustomerServiceUploadPhotos.Run()  flow.

 

Anyone can comment on this? What did I do wrong?

 

P.S.: Also I noticed when manually testing the flow you can choose any file even pdf and the flow will upload it to the OneDrive but with the image extension jpeg. I experimented and changed the extension of uploaded file back to pdf and it worked.....

 

Thank you.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    The flow you referenced could upload files specified within the Flow, it is not available to use under PowerApps.

    If you would like to upload images into OneDrive within PowerApps, then please follow the article below:

    Add images to Excel from PowerApps

    Please note: This method requires an Excel spreadsheet stored in OneDrive.

     

    Further, for direct Upload control, currently it is not available, and there is an idea submitted on that already:

    Upload File to Cloud / OneDrive / Sharepoint

     

    Regards,

    Michael
