Question Power Apps - Need to display a file that is read from a Sharepoint site folder

[z1ggy]

To be more specific, I've been asked to turn a folder which has just 1 file in it, to adding a check box feature in it so a user can drop in files & check a box so that the application only reads the check box'ed file. I already have it coded so that when a user in the app clicks a hyperlink, the file from the folder appears in a new tab. It was easy as long as the name of said file is always called the same name. Now the person who updates these files wants the freedom to name things whatever they want, & check a box on the file they want displayed at given time.

FWIW I am not an experienced developer at all (I'm in project management), I have basically 0 experience other than taking a few quick workshops and getting some help from an IT guy in my company. I'm not exactly sure why this is my job, but here I am.

Do not code if you don't have to . The whole point to power apps is to minimize coding.

Just point to the folder and people can pick the file they want to open.
