Flow for sharing file attachments from a SharePoint list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12

I need an automatic flow for releasing file attachments from a Sharepoint list as soon as new files are available here.

Currently, the links I generate can only be opened by people from my organization.

 

So I need a flow that automatically releases these files to the general public.

 

This is possible, probably only via Power Automate if I am correctly informed. But how?

Please "Step by Step"

Thank you all

    Hi @cAhler 

     

    The only i could think to make the link public would be to try like below

     

    1. Save the list attachments to a folder.

    2. Now create a sharing link for each of those so everyone can access.

     

    See below flow

    1. Use get items to get the items from list

    2. Loop through each list item and do the following steps

     i. Use get attachments to get all attachments details associated with the list item

    ii. Use apply to each loop again to loop through list of attachments

    Now within the above loop, follow these steps 

    1. Use get attachment content to get the content of attachment

    2. Create a file using the attachment content

    3. Use create sharing link for file/folder like below

    You can set the Link Type depending upon the requirement.

    Now the sharing link dynamic content which is the link which can make the people access the file.
