Need to display images from a folder present in desktop

[rshekar19hi71]

I am new to thunkable. I am trying to create an app which gives details of an electronic shop. When a user opens the app, the user can click on a button which takes him to view various items with prices (images).

Since the new Data Viewer component can pull from Airtable, the app becomes super easy to update from your end.
