Hello，

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community forum.

You can try to use the SharePoint document library to create mashup applications to browse folders, view, and launch files in native applications.

Here is a general step:

• Create a separate folder for each training in the SharePoint document library (for example, folder 1 for training 1 and folder 2 for training 2).
• Open the Power Apps and create a new one. Add a form for employees to upload certificates.
• Add file upload control. Use the Add Picture control to allow employees to upload their credentials.
• Use power to upload files automatically:

     Create a process in Power automation to handle file uploads.
  
     In Power automation, the "when file is created" trigger is used.
  
     Add conditions to check the type of training and upload the files to the appropriate folder.
  

• Integrate power automation with Power Apps:

     In Power Apps, the Power automation process is invoked when an employee submits a form.
  
     Pass the necessary parameters (such as training types, files) to the process.
