Download image from Blob Storage in PowerApps [Not in a new tab]

Posted on by Trinity365

I am working on a screen which displays images stored in Azure Blob storage and on click it should download the image in user's local device mobile/computer.

I am able to get blob url using following formulas:

UpdateContext({_filecontent :AzureBlobStorage.GetFileMetadata(Gallery2.Selected.BlobID) });

UpdateContext({_filePath : "https://[XYX].blob.core.windows.net" & _filecontent.Path});

Download(_filePath);

This opens the image in new tab so user needs to click on image and do Save As to download the file. I want direct download instead of opening this file in new tab.

Any solution?

Hi @Trinity365,
the workaround what i use generally is (Power Automate Way):
1. Prepare your inputs to pass to flow as Input parameters
2. Get the file content for selected azure blob (binary content)
3. Then use OneDrive connector to create a file with the fetched content
4. Then generate a share link for the newly created file
5. Send the generated link back to power apps (use download /launch function Along with ?download=1 to force download)
6. add a delay of 30 seconds or upto 5 min and delete the file.

I always use this workaround if I have to download anything to power apps.

Please give the mentioned solution a try and let me know whether it works for you.
If it solves your issue, feel free to mark this thread as answered.
