Hi! I think Glide have no local storage support, so if you will use user specific column and unsigned users this way images didn’t uploaded to any db and just be loosed after session finished

The question asked was to take a picture and upload it to a database. The Image Picker does just that. Unless I am misunderstanding the question.
