Convert image from url to binary

Posted on by 43

Hello, 

 

I would like to convert an image which is uploaded to a sharepoint library to binary by a user and store it in a text filed in a sharepoint list. My user paste in a text input the link a the file.

 

I tried to use an image control (with the link) and a button with this kind of fonction but it doesn't work  

Substitute(JSON(Image.Image,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData),"""","")

It replies the url of the image...

 

The url is given by a user. 

I can't use a flow like this (Sharepoint : retrieve content from link) because I don't know the site that the user will use...

Any Idea ? 

 

For information my problem is linked with a problem of displaying on mobile. 

For the moment, I put the link of the image in a sharepoint list and it work wonderfully on Chrome but it doesn't work on Mobile application. I read in this forum that the mobile application doesn't have proper access to sharepoint file, even if the user has the right...

 

Thanks a lot,

    Hello, 

     

    I found another solution. 

    The image is converted to binary and stored in a sharepoint list in a text column. 

     

    Thanks,
