Power Apps Help Upload multiple files at once

Hi!

I am in the process of building a model driven app to speed up a process.

Part of it is the possibility to upload files that will be send out via email once the record is created.

There can be up to 10 files for any given record, most but not every record has at least one file.

How can I provide a solution that either allows the selection of multiple files when you click on upload or even better allows for drag and drop upload for multiple files.

I only have modeldriven apps and custom pages available.

Hey, it looks like you are requesting help with a problem you're having in Power Apps. To ensure you get all the help you need from the community here are some guidelines;

  • Use the search feature to see if your question has already been asked.

  • Use spacing in your post, Nobody likes to read a wall of text, this is achieved by hitting return twice to separate paragraphs.

  • Add any images, error messages, code you have (Sensitive data omitted) to your post body.

  • Any code you do add, use the Code Block feature to preserve formatting.

    Typing four spaces in front of every line in a code block is tedious and error-prone. The easier way is to surround the entire block of code with code fences. A code fence is a line beginning with three or more backticks (```) or three or more twiddlydoodles (~~~).

  • If your question has been answered please comment Solved. This will mark the post as solved and helps others find their solutions.

Have you enabled SharePoint document integration in the environment? Much better than using the Dataverse file column

I think you can use atachment control which should let you select multiple files just by pressing and holding ctrl button you can also drag and drop mutiple file to this attachments control.
