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?!?!?!

@tatiang , it’s possible to base64 encode an image. I wonder if that would allow you to store it. (You’d need js in a webviewer to do the encoding…) Hmm. I’m going to play with that, since we didn’t get a WDC. :wink:

Oh wait. I can’t do this with a Data Viewer List. It’s not going to take an image as an input. Darn.

Store and retrieve photos locally?
