You could optimize images so they take less space. If you have a problem with storage, Glide team will be happy to help you.

> [@\_Romieux](#):
>
> Users \> profile \> images suggested and ratted by others?

Not sure to understand?

> [@\_Romieux](#):
>
> Users can see only their images

You will need to use row owners.

> [@\_Romieux](#):
>
> Admin can see all images to select

And set a new basic text column as row owners containing Admin.

Can you elaborate?

Hi @MaximeBaker,  
I have seen some tuts using Images, thanks to @Petitto and others. I have created a table only with ImagesTable, HotelData, and UserProfile. I lovely add dinamicaly many images linked to each userProfile that feed Hotels as sample, these images are liked by others users, the best likes will become the images of the app.  
Tables  
UserImages\> @email, likes, related\_emails to profile, image\_array, IDhotels  
HotelData \> IDhotels, Name, Description, rel\_UserImages, LoopUp\_fromUserImages --\>works  
UserProfile \> UserID, Name, Photo, rel\_UserImages  
When I’m at Hotel page I can see Images from ImagesTable (working by relation column and lookup) but I can’t add a picker from there, the imagePicker can’t load new images to the ImageTable from HotelDetail page only to profil or Hotel but not to the external table storing all userImages?  
How to add more images from an external detail page(Hotelpage) to ImageUserTable ?

I need to demand to community for Images and this is about millions of image Items that can be possible, soo much to pexels. Only the best likes images can be stored, others I will moved to an external storage.

Others app builders suggest to use List of arrays to store posts, likes or posted\_images, related\_friends in the userProfile, what about that? and how to implement ?  
Sorry my poor english  
Regards

You can use the form container mapped to the right source. Or use a helper table to build the form, then use “Add row” action in a workflow to add the data to the right table.

I would make a table for each of these entities and create relation between them.

You would have these tables:

- posts
- likes
- images

What is related friends for?
