APP SHEET IMAGE 404

Is there any solution to this problem, I've seen many questions, related to my problem and it still happens again and again. What process should I do in order to retrieve my images back to the app

The image is saved to your data source.. let's assume it's Google Drive. If the data source/spreadsheet is in folder Root > appsheet > data > AppName-1234567, and you have saved the image without any aditional settings, it's probably saved to "Images" subfolder. Then your image file is saved to gSheet as Images/KeyValue.ColumnName.Timestamp.png.

If you have moved either your gSheet or the folder where the image is saved, the relative path is not the same anyore and that's why the app can't find it. The saved file name and path needs to be related to your folder where the gSheet is. If you move the gSheet, you need to move the Images folder as well.

The images were in an /appsheet/ folder that seems to be for storing misc meta data in.

Previously (not related to this) I have renamed the sheet and it looks like there may be duplicates of the meta /appsheet/ folder. I didn't create those extra folders in my /appsheet/data folder...

I tried moving my Tool_Images folder into various subfolders (each of the above) and reloading the window of AppSheet project, but none made my images magically come back again.

Thanks

l also tried creating a folder (putting my sheet in it) and adding the Tool_Images folder to that AND moving my sheet into the meta /appsheet/ folder.

I also tried adding a slash to the beginning of a few image URLs since in the Info settings, AppSheet seems to trim the last slash (I wondered if the URLs were just slapped together, they're not)
