Optimize Image for Upload not working

Posted on by testtest123test

Hi,

Recently I have started seeing an issue where, if a user takes a photo directly using the camera control in the App, the image is getting compressed to < 500 kb but if the user uses an existing photo from their camera roll, that image isn't getting compressed and is being passed to SharePoint in full resolution.

As I am storing the b64 of the image in SP list under a multi-line text column, when the image is full resolution, b64 doesn't fit anymore. I've tried 3-4 iPhones and the same issue.

Anyone else facing this issue and have any workarounds?

Hi @testtest123test ,

Yes there is a 64k character limit in MLoT columns in SharePoint and I suspect you have hit that limit. I actually have the same two options on a number of my apps, but store it all in a SharePoint Library and it works fine. There is no way to compress photos in the App - the user would have to do this on their device if they are able.

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

Not sure what you mean by "There is no way to compress photos in the App". Isn't this setting in powerapps meant to do it?

@testtest123test ,

I already have that switched on for my field users - it does not improve the issue much (which is why I did not mention it).
