@jared Yes, it’s correct. Does Google Cloud accept Base64 images? If yes, you could use the workaround with the Web viewer and the HTML code.

Any db accepts base64 strings as long as the field length can handle the size of the image string….

I’m just tired of this convoluted workaround. It’s ridiculous that the block _still_ hasn’t been released or _won’t_ be released. More so really dissapointing that we can’t send files picked via the file picker or taken with the camera via a straightforward method.
