Firebase storage does not work with Thunkable at the moment. You need to upload to cloudinary using the “media\_db” and use it’s media url to share.

@lijowilsonxyz4b0s7, unless the photo is packaged within the app as an asset, you won’t be able to send the file from the app. If App doesn’t have file, it can’t send it. If there was a file picker and a way to transmit files, you could grab it from the phone or asset bank, but I don’t think this is an option for now.
