Hi @arkimark, You can put any URL with image as a source for Image component. Best, Victor. ---

@arkimark to start with, it is not the best practice to use URL from any picker as a source of image - there is no guarantee this URL will remain available forever (this is a picker, not a storage). I would suggest that first you store the image / file to the collection, and then use URL as a source. Also, if you click on “URL” on the screenshot you’ve provided, you will see a input box below, where you can put **any** URL you want, also using the magic text. Best, Victor. ---

yes, the file is stored in a collection. the intention is for the user to upload a file (image OR video) and show both on the screen via image AND video component (with visibility settings). image component \> show only if the filename contains ‘jpg’ video component \> show only if the filename contains ‘mp4’ ---

You can create custom list and show / hide components based on the upload type. ---

@arkimark just checked - Video works but Image does not. You might want to submit a ticket for that - as for me this is an Adalo bug. A workaround (as usual ☹ ) could be adding an additional property to indicate whether it’s image or video and store image/video in a different database properties **when uploading**. Best, Victor. ---

for the meantime, I added image property in the collection. now, users have choose between 2 inputs; image or video. ---
