I’m a new-ish thinkable user and I want to make an app where I take a picture with the camera and then upload it to Cloudinary and have it return back a url to me but I don’t know how? Can someone help me? Thank you

You need to link cloudinary and thunakable’s media DB and then save the image url in firebase(Database) and then later you can take the image url back from Database using the key you used.

Hi @vguo104i9c,

have you studied the documentation “[https://docs.thunkable.com/media-db](https://docs.thunkable.com/media-db)” from Thunkable? There the usage of the media-DB component is written down and media DB uses cloudinary.
