I have NEVER seen that As FILE snippet before in PowerFX, I learned something new today, thank you Shane!

[Tech]

Love that you show both interfaces. they are so different when you are new.

[sairamudayshankar]

Thank you very much, Shane! You're a blessing to the Power Platform community!

[brownjohn]

Thank you so much Shane! I've been looking for the apps(v1) trigger since I could not configure V2 but then this video showed up to save life... a nice gift for the season...

Hi Shane. I want to congratulate you for an EXCELLENT way to describe how to upload files using Power Apps. I was struggling with my project and I finally found something worthwhile to subscribe in YouTube, and that is your channel 😁 Thank you very much man, you just made my day. Keep on the great work 🤟

[joseph_]

Brilliant stuff. Thanks for taking the time to make it look so easy!

[club-crm]

Excellent! simple, fast and easy as Shane always does!

[nikkijoy]

OMG, you just made my week. Thanks for this 😊

Great Video Shane. This is very helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[UvAnnieljevla]

Thanks for the amazing video! For some reason using your code gave an error: Your formula is missing a column contentBytes with a type of 'Blob'. Based on a suggestion on Matthew Devaney's site I tried to remove the 'file:' part and one set of curly brackets, and it worked! For most of the internet your syntax including 'file:' works, but sometimes only without 'file:' works. I have no clue why :')

It’s amazing that they create a file upload V2, but still haven’t added an attachment control. I’d love to sit in their meetings and drill them on some of the ridiculousness.

[msaccessdatabasetraining]

Helpful, now I've got to figure out how to link it to the specific record (using a model driven app) and not just to the top-level SharePoint folder.

[xXanlocarXx]

2024 and still no control to upload files without doing magic... Thanks for your video Shane, helpful as always!

[gazzoyep]

This is a great update as always Shane :)
But a twist on this would be how to attach and load to a custom folder in Sharepoint

[kev.m.powerplatform]

Great video Shane. Thanks!
A real shame this many years later MS still haven't added that attachment control to the available controls list.

[EllieCarter]

Hi Shane! Great video. Question: I have a use case where a certain project is selected from a gallery, I want that PM to upload all documents for that particualr selected item. Do you have any videos that shows those relationships?

[mdhidayat]

Great video Shane! I'm using Ms graph to upload document library instead of flow.

[joshuamalcolm]

Great video Shane! Love the new change. What I would like to see is how to manage a documents library gallery that may exceed the visual limit and uploading documents to that. My scenario would have a variable library (for instance a personnel file changing based upon person selected). I get use a variable to folder location and ask for power automate, my concern primarily is how to view the files (maybe over 2000).

[CINsyg]

I use this control in dataverse ofte, its great, there is also an id param that you can set if you want to load them back in, in the same order.

[nehajhade]

Thanks for the video @ShanesCows It is really helpful. I have one query. This video will trigger my flow thrice if I have uploaded three files. Can I just trigger my flow once and upload three files in one go? is it possible
