This hasn’t worked a single time since opening this new account. **How to replicate** - Go to Data View - Open ‘Organizations’ table - go to ‘Photo’ column - double click on a cell - click “select files to upload” - select file from harddrive - submit - see nothing in the cell (not sure if this is normal or if i should see a thumbnail) - go to Layout view and see if the image can appears in UI, but nope. ---

What type of column is your Photo column? Can you provide a screen shot please? ---

It’s of type “Image.” The only way I could get images in there was to use another option like by URL. But direct upload isn’t working.

What format are images that you are attempting to upload? ---

PNG. Standard image format. Also, I use the exact same images on my Google Drive when I got it to successfully using the add from URL option. So it’s not the images. ---

If you’re trying to upload the photo that is stored in your Google Drive, you may first need to ensure the photo is shareable. I often run into upload errors when I’m trying to pull something directly from Google Drive. To get around it, I usually download the file to my device then upload that file instead. ---

I’m not trying to upload from Google Drive. I am having this bug when I try uploading from my local hard drive. I was only able to get around this by using another option in the dialog to add the photo. I chose next to add from a URL and pointed to a copy of the same image with a share link from google drive, where I had already updated the share settings to public. That worked. But the upload from my local machine still does not work. It just shows the progress indicator for a split second and then nothing (you can see this behavior in the recording I shared earlier). I saw in other threads that folks had this same issue over the years. It seems this bug is back. ---

Somethings not right. Perhaps it’s a bug, but if it was you would expect more people to be noticing. I can’t help the feeling that there is something going on with your browser/environment. A couple of things to try: - Add an image picker component to a screen and try uploading images via that. See if it works. - Try using a different browser. - Try using the same browser in incognito mode. None of the above is guaranteed to work, but testing each will eliminate some possible causes of the issue. Also, one thing I noticed from your video is that you appear to have row owners applied in that table. I wouldn’t expect that to make any difference, but it might. So you could also try turning off row owners temporarily and see if that makes any difference.
