Since I discovered that Thunkable apps store photos on the device whenever photos (from camera or album) are added to an app using the Media DB to upload to Cloudinary, I realized that I want one of two things: Photos stored in Cloudinary to save space on the device AND no photos stored on the dev…

This seems crazy but all I did was store the green Photo block value in an app variable initialized as an object with the blank property “photo” and then when I save the value to the local DB, I just get the property “photo” of that variable. And it works! What?!?!?!

Store and retrieve photos locally?

This project appears to do that but it still requires Cloudinary which I’m trying to avoid:
