Inserting Images from a SharePoint Document library is nonfunctional

Posted on by kokonstas

I'm unable to insert images from a SharePoint Document library in a way that I can see them both on my phone and online.

I've yet to be able to find a way to be able to see them on my phone. My current setup has the url stored in a SharePoint List that Powerapps has access to. I've tried inserting them into my app as an image, a url, and an HTML item, but none have been able to render on my phone, although they do appear on the preview part of the web browser.

I've also tried hosting the images on OneDrive with permissions set so that my entire organization can access the file, and that still doesn't work.

Is there a solution to this? It's a major blockage to allow my company to utilize any of these tools.

Hi @kokonstas,

So far you cannot make images show directly from a SharePoint picture library in PowerApps. The workaround so far is that you put a link to the image in another sharepoint list and formatted the link as a picture.

This requirement is very high on our backlog and we are working on it and I hope that we can unblock you soon.

Take a look here:

I'm confused about your work around. My current setup has the images stored in a SharePoint Online Documents with its URL stored in the SharePoint List. The images can render online, but not on the phone.

I've tried inserting the URL on Powerapps as an HTML image, and a Powerapps image.

What am I doing differently than your workaround?

Is there anyway to insert images that a user can host on SharePoint or OneDrive for Business?

Also, do you have any time frame for when this may be done?
