I have a column where I put my images of the products  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/a/8abc51dcd2586c29cc2c3a7e88b04025c93b7556.png)

However, it doesn’t show on my Glide editor, in other words, Glide isn’t reading the column.

If I directly insert the photos into the column, it works but it only appears as a link on my google sheets.

How can I see the image in both Glide and Google Sheets?

Are you using an image function there? You should provide the URL.

Yes, I was using img function, my point is that I want it to appear as image in both location. Probably I must have 2 columns, 1 with the image itself, the other with the URL

In that case i think that yes because Glide is working better when reading a URL for the images.

Yeah this should be the way. Also, try storing all images in Glide whenever you can.
