So im using a google sheet that has photos. The data from that same google sheet ARE populating in the data editor, but the photos are NOT. I have checked the sharing restrictions on the sheet are public so I can’t figure out why the photos are not coming over. Any thoughts or ideas? ---

Make sure your photos are links, and not actual files, in the gsheet. ---

What do you see in the Glide Data editor? Is the column configured as an Image type column? ---

I uploaded the photo to the sheet from my computer, so how would I generate a URL? ---

Here’s the documentation. [https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/ux/adding-images](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/ux/adding-images) You should upload the images either through the app or the glide editor. Images uploaded to the sheet won’t render. ---
