Power Apps not showing Document Library from SharePoint

My customer would like to show their document library(within SharePoint) on Power Apps. This allows customer to check document status on the fly.

Problem: After selected Sharepoint as the data source for a new connection within Power Apps it shows only the custom lists within SharePoint and not the default Document Library which is available for all sites. I was informed that by default PA should list the Document Library and allow you to select as data source. I understand that Doc Lib is a special type of list. Do I need to copy my Doc Lib into a custom list to make this work?

Thank you in advance.

    Hi @Sebring ,

    Do you mean there are only some lists on the link page? If you want to connect to the library, you can search for the name of the library and connect directly:

    Thanks for that.

    For an unknown reason it now works.

    When I create a new connector in Power Apps and select Sharepoint as the data it now lists the doc lib at the top followed by custom lists.
