Hello @dominiquesp99bchodt  
Could you please use the “Product environment cloud name” from the Couldinary settings as cloud name?

Hello @dominiquesp99bchodt  
Thank you for sharing the screenshot.  
I suggest adding the “upload file” block inside the “photo from camera” block and saving the URL to the variable.
