Nice video. Thank you for sharing. Question: if I upload pictures from one App to Blob storage, how can I tie the unique ID of image taken in one one app into another App I.e., I want to only show specific images tied to a condition in App2
Todd, Is it possible to display the contents of text files? I can successfully access the content of image files but not text files. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
That's a good question. I just tried it out and it appears the connector does not actually return the contents of the text file. I bet you could write a custom connector to do it with the Azure APIs.
Hello, At this point PowerApps does not include any native printing functionality. You could use screenshots, or send data from the Powerapp to a Flow and have the Flow create a document and email it or put it in a location where a user can then access the document and print it.
Is it possible to add the name of the picture automatically instead of having to name a file you already have named? Seems redundant and seems like poor UI
I agree the UX could be better. However, the PowerApps Add Picture control does not automatically name a file when you upload it, so this is the only approach that can be taken right now.

You're welcome. You could create a column in some data source to keep track of the data.
Hey Todd - Enjoying your PowerApp content. Quick Question - Is it possible to upload any file within PowerApps similar to how you did the image file?
Yes, as long as you are able to add the image into the PowerApp.
