    Scott,

     

    In regards to using DropBox try this:

     

    1: Go to the file to share, and click "Share".

    2: Click "Create a Link"

    3: Click "Copy Link"

    - The url output should look like "https://www.dropbox.com/s/8lhbtky7gq973db/CARN%20122%282%29.JPG?dl=0"

    4: Replace "?dl=0" with "?raw=1"

    - The result will be that instead of the image being shown as part of the dropbox experience the image will be in a raw layer and shows inside PBI.

Success! Thanks for your help. I am not sure how I would have found that solution.

Cheers!
