Hello!

I am using this option:

Insert -> Media -> Add Image

When I add an image using PowerApps and Excel it is saved like this:

.\Excel-Tutorial_images\2b2492cd702d482cbe7c636c111f99ad.png
And then puts the image in the folder named: "Excel-Tutorial_images".

I want it to automatically rename this: "2b2492cd702d482cbe7c636c111f99ad" to dateofcreation_anotherfieldfromexcel

Is there a way to do this? Otherwise it will be really hard to find back the images when I need them.

Hey!

I am using "Add image" to add an image to my form and it will add the picture to it. Is there any way of getting a download link for this image? Or maybe just a link to view it or something? Some pictures might be unclear and not being able to read so I want to be able to download them

Hello!

I do get the images in my folder when they do it but I don't know how to change the name of it because their names are all like this:

I made a test on my side, but it doesn´t generate a folder with the images, just writes the info of the blob in the excel file.
If you want to save the images to OneDrive folder, Please try the workaround in this thread.

Yes. I am indeed using that. In excel I made an colum named "Images[image]" and with this it will send it in there and in a folder in my onedrive. I kind of forgat how I did that.

I think it is this one!

Do you mean Add Picture control?
Could you share the formula you used to save the image to excel?

I am saving the image using this:

Insert -> media -> "add image" someone can add an image using that and then it will be sent into my excel file. Hope this makes it more clear
