Great tutorial Reza - thankyou! I laready had a filter on my gallery so in order to refresh I used the Refresh() function to refresh the data source on the OnSelect of the icon. Apart form that - works great, THANKYOU!

Hi Reza! I would automatically look in your channel for things I'd need to learn/do. Again, I found what I needed. You've made the video so easy to understand and follow. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[joepark]

This is fascinating and worked like a charm. Thanks, Reza!

The Dynamic Mapping is a game changer. I have written a complete .NET Web Service to allow multiple external service upload files to different SPO Sites with different Content types (aka properties). Because of the dynamic-ness of the requirement, I went the full code option. But now I can see that it's fully possible in Cloud Flows, and I assume Logic Apps too, this could open up lots of opportunities.

Really you are master of Power Apps and almost all the things you can do here. I learnt a lot from your experiences and keep learnings. Your vital and crucial contribution to my modern journey. :)

[CédricCHEVALIER-yd]

Thanks - Your update of document properties is brilliant. No need to update the file column by column. GREAT TIP

[rajaamohammed]

Great insight on leveraging the 'Update File Properties' for dynamic mapping – your tip is truly excellent and adds significant value to the process! Thank you !

[mannymorales]

Reza - as always, great content. You are truly the PowerApps (and SharePoint) Jedi Master! Thanks for publishing, sharing and educating!

how are there only 500 thumbs up for this video!! What a slick move using the form properties in powerautomate!!
Sorry I missed this one when you first released it.

[dougydoe]

Finally got round to watch this week's video. I know this will come in handy so uploading the solution into my Reza's Environment. Great techniques and tricks you've demonstrated. Thanks for sharing.

This is great and I like how clearly you explain things. I can see the value in this for times when I have a bunch of files to upload and I want them to all have the same properties, but I can’t think of any other use cases, though I’m sure there are plenty and am wondering if you could mention a couple to get me thinking more. Thanks!

[carlw]

Excellent. Looking forward to redoing my uploads in a more up to date fashion. Haven't played with Powerapps or SP for over a year.

[girlontheswing]

Thank you Reza for sharing your knowledge and ideas.

[RafathKhansWorld]

Your videos are really helpful and i am gaining a lot from your videos

[janicemendoza]

Awesome content Reza as always! I have a similar requirement but I want to add a toggle. If toggle is on, save the file on this SP folder, if toggle is off, save the file on the other SP folder. Sounds simple but not sure how to add it. Appreciate your guidance. Thank you! :)

[uzairfarooq]

I just love the way you explain. Being a beginner, I've learned a lot from you. I would like to ask if you have made a sample project for beginners. It would be appreciated if I could get the link, as I tried to find it but couldn't. Thanks again❤️

[dlutchner]

Wonderful tutorial. Just like all your videos.

[dwang]

It seems like such an over site that there is no document upload control. Do you think there is a reason for that? Do you think they might create on in the future?

Thanks for the video. You always do such a great job

[JohnGiraldo-vsuh]

Reza, thank you very much. I am slowly getting into powerapps to create efficiency on some of tasks we do at work and your videos have been amazing. I do have a question. Is there a way to create a folder in the document library for the uploaded files? Instead of all the files being placed in the root of the document library instead it will create a folder for the entry and place attachments inside. Is this done in the power automate?
