Currently, is the only way to upload an image using Thunkable X is for it to go through Cloudinary? I know that I can upload to Cloudinary and then use the media URL to copy (or send ) the image to somewhere else. But the question is does every image have to go through Cloudinary using Media\_DB? Thunkable X is amazing and I want to develop on this platform but I would like to be able to send images directly to an FTP server. Possible? If not, in the future maybe? Tenori ---

If you have an API set up on your server, you can likely do this with an API POST. Not that I know how to do that, but I’m fairly certain it’s dooable. ---

You could also use something like Amazon S3? That’s if price is an issue! I’ve had little experience with FTP but I doubt it would work with the API component because they are different. ---
