Display SharePoint Attachment in PowerApps 📸 (Tutorial)

In this PowerApps tutorial we look at a few options to get SharePoint list attachment images and other file types to be available in PowerApps

-This can be done with an image control, but you would be limited to only displaying one image at a time.
-A nested gallery provides much more flexibility than an image control
-Last but not least, the attachment control (what attachment control you might ask as this is not available in the insert ribbon), provides an easy way to download the attachments through the SharePoint connector, and not through the front end URL.

Hi David! Awesome video!! Did you ever do a video showing the ability you showcased at the end? Allowing an attachment to be uploaded to an existing record?

[mikeraymundo]

HI Dave - Excellent video shared ! I ran into a problem when connecting to the attachment. it said the data type was a "Table" and hence it gave an error. Not sure how / what i should do so that when i add the .value formula it would read as a record ?

[sofiejensen]

This is amazing!! Just what we were looking for! - Can I ask. Can you get an image into a form?

Hi Dave nice video
I have followed your step and finally get the attachment control with the attachment file but the files couldn't be downloaded when I use the app on my mobile, so on the browser either they were downloaded with no files. I don't know where I missed the step.

Hi, Dave, great tutorial!
I have one question, though: when I run the app after publishing it (i.e. directly from the list), I cannot open/launch the images/files in View mode; the interaction only works if I enter in Edit mode.
Is there a way to keep the interaction in View mode? What am I missing?
Thank you.

Dave - This is excellent information. Thank you! Hoping you might be able to provide some guidance...When I export a SharePoint list to an Excel spreadsheet, instead of listing the name of the document (which is a hyperlink to the document; therefore being considered an "image"), it will only show "Attachments" in the column instead of the document name (which is what I want). Any suggestions?
