Hi everyone,

I'm trying to connect one folder from Onedrive to PowerApps so I can download the file I selected. I want to know if that is possible.

HI,

Yes, you can either use the onedrive personal or business connector in the App itself, or in a power automate flow.

however, My suggestion in the future as it will help you grow your knowledge, is to do some searches. You would have found some great examples as well the templates that exist in the platform.

its better to build that muscle for yourself, than using us as a crutch for the easy stuff, trust me you'll thank me!!!

Thanks @Michael E. Gernaey! However, before I post my question I do some searches and tried to add Onedrive business but it ask me to select an excel and that's not what I need. I want to be able to view and download any file I have in that folder.

Hi

Yes, but you didn't share that information, so again you have to try both research and share details because the question is simply can you download a file, not what you wrote in response.

Again, you are asking a Boolean question and there are lots of examples of building browsers for SharePoint. I have no idea what you did to have it ask you for an excel.

* So you want to build a browser that lets you download files that's the actual request.

* In the picture you are showing an Attachments "folder"?? Are you wanting to download attachments, or download actual files from a SharePoint list or library?

* Would this be on a phone or desktop or both?

Here however is a great example of how to do what you want, which is also for Mobile.

Thank you for the recommendation but as I said I have searched but I did not find a solution and that is why I decided to ask the community. I already know how to work with sharepoint folders, which is what the video shows, but what I want now is to be able to connect a OneDrive folder to my app. This folder is shared and updated by another area so I can't pass the information to sharepoint.

To summarize, what I want to do is be able to connect this folder that has documents and folders with my app to be able to add it to a gallery and that anyone can see and download them.

This is what I do when I try to add Onedrive business. I select Onedrive business and the following step ask me to add an excel.
