Photo links in excel don't work.

I have a canvas app and part of it is to upload a photo. I used the addMedia to use the phone camera to take a picture. Then at the end of the app they submit and it uses Patch to add it to my excel sheet. It shows a link in the sheet but I can't get that to show as a photo in excel or a browser. How can I view these photos?

Hi @StephenG ,

You cannot store a photo in an Excel sheet - what is the Patch code you are using?

Hi @StephenG ,

Firstly, I have never done this as I use SharePoint. There is a process on this post that may - the file is stored in OneDrive. I also have a blog on images if you want to go down the SharePoint path.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.
