Mobile (phone) get local file name of image

Hi, I have created an App (probably spent a little too long on it) but ended up getting hung up on something I thought would be simple.  My app works offline because the workers are remote (no mobile coverage) - they LoadData in the morning and head out the door to record forms and take photos (all works fine). 

 

My problem is we need high-resolution images AND we cannot afford to upload these over a mobile connection, however, we can afford time (in that we can wait for a tech to return from the field in 2 weeks with the images).

 

I thought I had this problem solved by just collecting the AddMediabutton.FileName (which works btw) - however, it resizes the image and then changes the file name to 'resized-acbd-sdfs-sdfsdf-f42ff.jpg'  auto-magically. Is there a way just to grab the filename someone clicks on in the AddMediabutton and nothing else? Have I missed something simple?

 

Appreciate the help as I feel like I have exhausted all google-able queries

    Hi @Clay99 ,

    Is it doing this in the editor, or just on the device?

    I'm not sure if this will help, but on the mobile device, if the PowerApp app setting "Optimize images for upload" is on, then it will resize anything going into the add image control.  I believe if this is disabled, then it should load up the full image without resizing?  

    Kind regards,

    RT

    YES! this was it. Thank you very much, I looked everywhere on the Powerapp itself but did not look on the mobile device. This works I can see the file name unedited now. Cheers!
