2 Apps sharing same image folder

[abood89]

Hello people 

I have 2 apps shearing same google sheet 

the image folder is located inside App A main folder

so when i upload photos from App B the image shows for few seconds and then disappear and shows triangle woth exclamation mark 

i assume it is a permission issue that App B is not granting permission for image folder inside App A main folder

Any help is appreciated

We might need details on houe you have currently configured the app.  Here are some basics...

When uploading images through apps and using a sheet as the datasource, AppSheet will use the folder containing the datasource sheet as the root location.  

So, say you have "SourceSheet" located in the folder: appsheet/data ... this becomes the root for image uploads.

When you upload an image AND allow the default folder creation to apply, app sheet will automatically (assuming you have made no path changes) create the folder and place the images into a folder at:  appsheet/data/images

Now, let's say you MOVE the "SourceSheet" into the folder appsheet/data/datasource.  When uploading an image in this case, AppSheet will automatically (again no path changes) create and place images into appsheet/data/datasource/images.

The above will apply to ANY app that is using the same datasheet IF you allow the AppSheet path defaults to be utilized.  All apps will load into and look for images in the same image folder.  Also note that you do not need to specify any folder at all for this to work.

If you DO create your own custom Image folder, then image columns in all apps that you wish to use that same folder need to have the same path configured.  For instance, say you want images to be inserted into a folder named "Work Images".  You will need to apply this path name to ALL image columns in all apps that you wish to upload images into this folder and retrieve images from this folder.  STILL, this path relies on the location of the datasheet as the root.  So if the datasheet is in appsheet/data, then your images will go into appsheet/data/Work Images

Regardless if you use the default image path or create you own, the path + image name written into the sheet will only the subfolder portion - i.e. it will not include the root location as described above.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing information 

Let me try to be more clear about the issue 

will in my case I First created the App A and uploaded many photos and all working no problem 

then I created App B which using the same google sheet from App A as data source for table 1 and use other other sheet for table 2 

table 1 and table 2 are related with row references 

so when I upload image from App B to table 1 it shows with no problem However it does not show in table 2 which is related to table 1 with row reference instead it shows triangle

Please show how you have configured Table 2 to show the image from Table 1.
