Power Apps SharePoint Document Library Tutorial

In this Power Apps tutorial video, we will explore how to create a fully featured SharePoint Document Library browsing experience in PowerApps.
We will preview documents using File Thumbnails, use PDF Viewer control for pdf & office files, filter with delegation on isFolder, folder path using a simple technique of folder default values, navigate through the SharePoint document library using a breadcrumb experience like modern SharePoint libraries.
All the above without using any Power Automate flows and keeping delegation in check wherein we can work with document libraries having more than the delegable limit of 2000 documents.

Thank you Reza. I have learnt so much by watching your videos. For me, you are the go to person for all things related to PowerApps and Flow. Again thanks for the work you are doing and sharing with all of us.

When you said all this without using power automated flows you had me there :)

[EpicDreamer_]

Thanks for this! I will try to implement this in my project. Libraries and files are always the most important thing and I believe users will like a lot the powerapp experience!

[DanielNDemo-bkkm]

That was brilliant. I always learn so much by watching your videos. Thank you, Reza.

[christerrussberg]

[yeraldo]

I'll definitely be improving my SharePoint list in Powerapps!! 👏

[DanielChristian]

Nice! Adding the document content-type and the new column is a great work around.

[greatkingrat]

Like the introduction, the result is simple, elegant and professional. Thanks for a great (and powerful) video

[brunoburagohain]

Always something to learn from your videos. Big salute to you. waiting for your next one

[anthonyleduc]

Thank you for the deligation issue with isfolder. Very interesting

[enghatemosman]

Such a good work Reza, thank you a lot.

[karukarthi]

Thanks Reza.. I have also created similar kind of app in one of my project and implemented the same. I used document set. Through this video I have learnt breadcrumbs and delegation.. Thanks again.

I got almost everything to work in the first video. I then learned more from this one. It’s all working so well with the exception of getting PDF files to render in the PDF Viewer as prescribed. The office documents convert nicely. It’s strange because I do trigger and capture the link (text label) after adding the hyperlink column. I can’t figure out what is going wrong. But everything else works… thanks for all your coaching mate!

[sahilthakur]

thats the most apt name for this video.. its a complete tutorial. Thanks for sharing

[chrisproctor]

Anothtaa one! Again--to help keep things in a one stop place rather than going from app to sharepoint and back and forth, this will help keep things in one place!

[katelinhill]

Thanks Rezza! You’ve helped me so much with my project. I ran into one issue when making the pdf viewer visible only when certain document types were selected and had to adjust the Visible control where instead of using “).Result “ I used “).Value”
And it worked for me! (Without the “”)

Hopefully that might help someone else too. Thanks again!!

[andrevinicius]
