Hello everyone. I am busy making a app. It is very basic. All it have to do is take a picture and if I it sent sent it to a email address. The part where it take’s the picture work’s and it shows it in a image viewer. But when I sent it it does not sent the image but rather a link of the image. And when I use the app after I installed it on my phone it just send a error message. How can I fix that. Thanks. ---

Hello @boemerang.zah Welcome to our community! Could you please share more information on how you are sharing the image? Which block are you using? Web API or share blocks? ---

I am using the email send block. So if I take a photo I show it in a image viewer and I save it as a variable. Then if I click sent it uses the email sent block to send the variable but it is then just a link. ---

Hello @boemerang.zah and sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, the send email block is only for sending text and not images The only workaround I can think of is to use the share image block ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/f/9fea6752ecd74abe9d21058ef67113a9450cba47.png) But you will need to save the image as base64 and not the URL. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/6/e69e8af5321e77337b615967913b31f2285f12df.png) You can find more instructions on how to get images as base64 here: [WEB API Firebase Storage It does not upload the file to the server - Questions about Thunkable / Web API’s - Community](https://community.thunkable.com/t/web-api-firebase-storage-it-does-not-upload-the-file-to-the-server/2369895/4) When I tested it it worked only on android. ---
