@biha you do not need any location info. It was for another use case that somebody had.

@Krivo So now, to let it automatically upload image and compress, what I need to do is;
1. Change this part cloud\_name and Cloudinary folder
2)Set up this part :
Folder : Folder name in Cloudinary
URL prefix: The storage in Glide. Mine was [https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/Cqo9GiCeIKjnwcVnF3MG/pub/Rhqdnw3GiKkX2za9oRkB.jpg](https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/Cqo9GiCeIKjnwcVnF3MG/pub/Rhqdnw3GiKkX2za9oRkB.jpg)
so i used the : [https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/Cqo9GiCeIKjnwcVnF3MG/pub/](https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/Cqo9GiCeIKjnwcVnF3MG/pub/)
correct ?
That’s all I highlighted from your thread. am i correct ? let me know if i am not.

Hey @biha
I built this Compress Image app for you
> **[Compress Image](https://compress-image.glideapp.io/)**
>
> Compress your image size by upto 80%
You can upload any image and provide quality of the image
It would compress the image in that quality and return a compressed image.
If you are happy with the same, I can guide you to do it. You can message me privately.

@biha Seems to be correct.
Have you created the setup yourself in your own app - and not started from the template?
I noticed that the column type is text of the image in General table.

@biha I would also try to make a simple setup to see if you got cloudinary connected correct to glides folder
In General table:
Create two variable.
Super important that you do the correct replacement. In your case it should be:
`https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/Cqo9GiCeIKjnwcVnF3MG/pub/
(NB: notice that other people know the folder of your app)
Create a tab ‘General’ and insert an image component. The image sourced from cloudinary should show up. If not the the Cloudinary setup has a fault somewhere.
I think it is better to narrow down the problem.

Hello @Krivo , I’m back.
So, i have follow your steps.
1. Extract image name from the Glide storage
2. Combine [https://res.cloudinary.com/](https://res.cloudinary.com/)… with image name
I understand that part and it is turn up in my app.
But my main question is how to auto compressed ?

@biha The autocompression happens when you make use of the preset
As described in the original post you need to create a preset. The compression happens based on the transformations that you put in
My transformations was this but you can do what you want. The w\_500 makes the image 500 px wide and q\_auto makes the quality auto adjusted. That will help a lot on the size:
`bo_17px_solid_rgb:d020ca,c_thumb,g_face,h_500,q_auto,r_max,w_500`
\*You can apply actions (e.g., incoming/eager transformations) on your auto-uploaded resources by using an [upload-preset](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_images#upload_presets). To attach an upload-preset to a mapped folder, **the preset should be named the same as your folder mapping**
(from this page : [https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002589251-How-to-add-upload-options-when-using-Auto-Upload-mappings-](https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002589251-How-to-add-upload-options-when-using-Auto-Upload-mappings-))
**Have you named your preset the same as your auto upload folder?**
