Similar to the Flow Launch Panel in SharePoint, you can now run flows on selected files that collect inputs from OneDrive for Business. This feature enables the person running the flow to use their own credentials, which is especially for flows that have been created by an IT department. They can also get prompts for runtime inputs like Approver or Message, which can be of type text, file, email, Boolean, or number.

To set up a flow that collects inputs from OneDrive for Business, you can select the Flow button and then choose Create flow. This shows you a number of templates. You can also create a flow from blank from Microsoft Flow by choosing the For a selected file trigger under the OneDrive for Business connector:
