I am new to PCF Controls and have an issue.
Currently I am developing a soultion for Dynamics 365 which contains a PCF Control. This Control should show connected documents from sharepoint which are already connected to the data set of an entity (if I described this the right way).
I want to get the connected documents on shareppoint from an entity.
For example I want to get the following document via the PCF Control:
See this image
I hope you can help me!
It should work with any entity where you can upload documents to SharePoint.
I have a context, to call the WebApi if this helps.

I'm using Microsoft SharePoint and MS Planner, I have a plan that's connected to SharePoint website, so everything I post in planner automatically shows in SharePoint.
So whenever I upload an attachment it is uploaded to Sharepoint site/shared document
I want to create a specific folder inside documents and make attachments that I upload in planner go directly there.
is there any way to do that?
Currently this is not supported. You can vote for the suggestion to add this feature though:

I am new in SharePoint development. Right now I am working on a project for the Integrated Management System. We need to provide an easy navigation view for users where they can search and view the document in one place.
Is there any built-in web parts specifically for IMS available in SharePoint?
Or any web part available for document master-detail view, like a list of the document on the left side and selected document displays on the right side.
Or do I need to completely depend on the new SharePoint page development?
If you are using SharePoint 2016 on-premises and Office Online Server,
the users can find documents using SharePoint Search, and view into the documents using the hoverpanel.
Please see this blog post (the blog-post has a focus on SharePoint Online, but SharePoint 2016 and Office Online Server provide this feature on-premises as well)
I have a PowerApp that is a gallery showing a list from SharePoint and also an input mask for said list in SharePoint. The input part works flawlessly for me and my collegues, but the gallery part which should be showing the data from the SharePoint list is giving me a headache.
I can see the data from the SP list in the App. My colleagues with whom I shared the App only see a blank list.
When they first open the shared app they have to accept a prompt from the SharePoint connector & I have given them all access to the specific SharePoint list. Yet they still don't see anything in the PowerApp gallery that should show the SP data.
I checked the connections in the App setting and the SharePoint connection works. Also I can see the data. Although the connector is showing my personal SharePoint account, but afaik by granting the SharePoint access on the first opening of the App this should take care of that.
TLDR:
PowerApp has a gallery that shows SP data and that works for me but not for the users whom I shared the App with. They only see a blank gallery. How do I fix that?

I thankfully found the issue myself after some digging around in the settings. In the Advanced List setting the following option was not set to read all:
Item-level Permissions
Specify which items users can read and edit.
With this option correctly set everyone is now able to see the list items.
Have a great day and I hope this might help someone!
I just added two new properties for the users using sharepoint, and then I edited the values.The problem is that when entering to <sharepointdomain>/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/getmyproperties the new properties appear, but their values are empty. I changed the values from the sharepoint admin page, on "users profiles" > "Manage Users Profiles". Why the changes are not being reflected on the rest api? Should I do something else?
Based on your description, you are not calling Microsoft Graph, but the SharePoint endpoint. With Microsoft Graph you can get user profile information aggregated from Azure Active Directory, Exchange and SharePoint. However, It does not expose custom properties you add on the SharePoint profile service, but it does have a mechanism (going into preview very soon) for you to add open extensions and schematized extensions.

I have a web application. When the user clicks on a button in my web application, I'd like to retrieve data from SharePoint on behalf of the user. I have read quite a few articles on SharePoint but I'm still not sure how to proceed. Should I create a provider hosted SharePoint App and use the SharePointREST API? Thank you in advance for your help.
You don't need to create a Provider to use the SharePoint Rest Services.
Quoting http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj164022(v=office.15).aspx :
One advantage of using REST is that you don’t have to add references to any SharePoint 2013 libraries or client assemblies. Instead, you make HTTP requests to the appropriate endpoints to retrieve or update SharePoint entities, such as webs, lists, and list items. See Get started with the SharePoint 2013 REST service for a thorough introduction to the SharePoint 2013 REST interface and its architecture.
Inside the page you will find videos and code examples that will help you to connect and execute operations.
It's Correct. Data in SharePoint is Stored in Lists or Libraries (to files).
You can use the Client Object Model, to get data remotely from a SharePoint Server (on-premise or Online). The Client Object Model can be used through Assemblies (DLL files) or REST services provided by SharePoint. Generally you should know the location of the data you are going to get, that is, as I initially mentioned, the data in SharePoint are stored in Lists or Libraries, therefore you must know the name of the List or Library Additional Site or Sub-site of the List or Library is.
If the name of the list where the information is stored is "employees" and the HR website, the URL could be formed as follows:
http://spserver.company.com/HR/Employees
For REST services, simply complete URL of the list you want to see, so that you retrieve the information from the list. If you want to apply filters, sorting, to retrieve specific columns, you must do it through CAML queries which the add on REST service call.
