Hi,

 

Is it possible to add & display the Sharepoint document library inside my power app with proper control (most preferable) as we have in SharePoint using the Web part? 

Please don't reply if you have a solution related to create a gallery and fetch the data.

 

I want to display the Document library inside a screen.

    Hello,

     

    I am sorry i am sending you this random message. I am in need of your assistance.

     

    I was given a project in my office which involves using PowerApps to perform a CRUD operation on SharePoint document Libraries with the help of Power Automate flow.

     

    I have been able to do the Create operation but the other three parts has been a problem, especially the Read operation which is displaying the list of document libraries in PowerApps gallery.

     

    I will be glad if you can help me out. Thank you.

    You can't use web parts in a Power App.  So the only way to display a full document library in a Power Apps screen is as a data source for a gallery.  There is no other way.

    @amit1030 ,

    I am not sure what you mean by a "proper control" - you can display a good-sized "thumbnail" (full-screen) with the below in an Image Control. I have hard-coded the LookUp, but it could be any reference to the item you need.

    This works on most image types as well as Word and PDF and quite a few others - the one main exception is Excel. It also displays on mobile devices.

    You can also launch the item in a browser with OnSelect of

    I am not sure that this is what you are after, but we use it extensively on iPads in the field.
