Hello, I have a google form that allowed users to upload a copy of their logo and then in google sheets it creates the url link to the google drive location, but I’m thinking this may not be the best option. So I was wondering if a user or myself can upload the photo to their entry? If so, how/where can I upload the photo or the best way to do something like this. Plus it seemed to be a slow load of those entries that had images attached. Brief concept: building an online directory for users and it will show their photo. ---

i think I am still stuck. So, I see how I can use the image picker to upload the image, but how do I get to show on my main page. Example, I am building a directory and people shared their logos, so when someone searches for them, their business and logo show up on the main screen, like a profile pic. I wouldn’t want just anyone to have access to upload the pics. That would be on the admin side (in my thoughts). ---

It’s best practice to upload and host your images on glide rather than Google Drive using the ‘image picker’ Here is a link to the document > **[Adding images](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/ux/adding-images#external-hosting)** > > How to add and host images properly for your app. Extract below ⬇ ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/e/ae0b43a23fe40ae3c69346d0f4dd284275dc1906.jpeg) ---

The image picker component only lets you upload images from your device, not “storing from Google Drive”. Generally, Google Drive is not recommended as a solution to store images/videos then display them in Glide. You might run into a lot of trouble with that set up.
