How to decode image stored in MySQL (Cloud Object Storage)

[lpanetta]

Hi there!

I've been using spreadsheets to store all data and google Drive to store images, but recently I moved to MySQL for Data, and Google Drive still to save photos.

Yesterday I switched to what AppSheet calls, "Cloud Object Storage", basically creating 2 more columns on a table in MySQL, to store the label and the image itself. It works great, on the APP I can see the uploaded pictures that are saved to my database.

The problem occurs when I want to retrieve or display that image outside AppSheet. I thought the content column for the picture was basically a base64 encoded image, but when I decode that text, there simply nothing there.

¿How can I achieve that?

Because since I'm storing everything in a proper database, which then allows me to create any sort of reports, It would be proper that the image stored there can be accesible withouth the need of the APP

Thanks in advance!
