Hello can you give us more information? You want to display all your images in a list is that right?

Have you already tried something?

There is a very simple way.

First create a google sheet.

In column A 1 insert image  
In column B 1 insert title

![2453eb3f0c56a2eb669346829d2dd092](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/5/55d0bd088a38ad30c8505a2242b1dff2a4c08e9b.jpeg)

Then create a data viewer grid.

So I made the project for you but to configure it do like this

 ![9d301cbcfe8003049c70d900d53b6226](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/4/f4dd0e32af1892585daec65dee17c103a6fabef7.gif)

And click to create

Then go back to the data viewer grid

Now you are ready 😃 Upload and enjoy

Hey @kushweez interesting response. Curious, how does your solution cover the below requirement?

> [@luv.ak.tech](#):

If I understand correctly, the pictures must be stored within the app however, I see that you are using a path which (though it does not show in full in your screenshot) points to the local filesystem’s DCIM or Pictures folder, right? So how do the pictures get “copied” in the app’s storage? Is this done in an “automatic” way since they get cached in the app’s storage when viewed in the app? Or is there a way to directly access the app’s storage?

Thanks  
K

I tried and the photos remain in cache memory after deletion on thunkable live IOS
