download a file when a button is clicked

Hi everyone!

 

Is it possible to download an Excel file located in the Excel document library using a PowerAutomate flow?

I'm trying to create a button in powerapps that allows me to automatically download a file.

 

There used to be a Download() function but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

 

Has anyone solved this problem yet?

Thank you!

    You can use the action "For a selected file." There are premium actions that you can use to download the file, such Download document from iManage Work - Connectors | Microsoft Learn

     

    This will add the workflow under the Automate menu that people can run on the selected file. However, this doesn't seem would like it would provide much benefit, since when you select a file there is already a built-in menu option to download the file.
