(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi, I'm trying to get a direct link from power automate that can return a file to Powerapps to download directly to the local folder.

Since the "Direct Link" option has been retired, is there a workaround or alternative

    I'm receiving the below prompt when running it

    Plus I can only select Organisation and not Anonymous in the "Create Share Link"

    Hi @v-bofeng-msft , it worked. Thanks a lot!!

    What I needed to do was add ?Downloads=1 after WebURL.

    So there is a copy which is downloaded to the local folder automatically and another one on OneDrive

    Hi @Anonymous :
    Yes,that's right.The file is actually saved in OneDrive, what you actually download is the file in this OneDrive.

    Best Regards,
