How to use Powerapps for Sharepoint

Question

I was using Infopath earlier to edit sharepoint site, but now our organization restricted to use infopath and advised to move on to Power apps.

Answer 1

Power Apps can use SharePoint On-Premise data through a connection gateway, see articles below:

• https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/connect-to-your-on-premises-data-sources-using-on-premises-data-gateway-from-powerapps/

• https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/support-for-sharepoint-on-premises/

• https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/

So the apps created with the Power Apps Studio will run from the Power Apps Server while using data from your SharePoint 2016 environment through a connection gateway. The same is also true for Flow.
