How do you define the relative image path to enable two apps to use the same image directory?

I have two apps that share a common SQL data source. What I would like them to do is share a common image file directory too.

The two apps are:

  1. Product Mgt. default app folder: /appsheet/data/Product_Mgt-123456
  2. Product Reg. default app folder: /appsheet/data/Product_Reg-123456

For the product icon location I have tried specifying the relative file location on my Google drive. See screenshot below:

The use of โ€œโ€ฆ/โ€ฆโ€ to refer to a parent directory didnโ€™t work and resulted in two new folders being created called: โ€œโ€ฆโ€

Usual appsheet folder structure is below:

appsheet / data / Product_Mgt-123456
appsheet / data / Product_Reg-123456
appsheet / data / PM_Resources / Product_Images

The shared folder is given in italics above.

Instead I get:

appsheet / data / Product_Mgt-123456 /โ€ฆ/โ€ฆ/PM_Resources / Product_Images

The ICON file location held in the DB for a specific product is the same. Namely:

โ€ฆ/โ€ฆ/PM_Resources / Product_Images/productUUID.icon.98765.png

Any help greatly appreciated. I also have the same problem sharing the country flags for the country listing between the two apps.

I recommend go to /appsheet/data and create a folder named Product_Combined.
Then go into Info-Properties-App Properties-Default App Folder and replace the path in both apps with
/appsheet/data/Product_Combined
