fyi.. i am not invoking any image with a https://www... kind of path.

Please can you let me know if this is feasible and how..

Hi @Mystery ,

You can refer the following links to get it:

Add images from OneDrive

Reference Local Image URL in the visual

In case someone drops by to this issue, you need to host the folder in which you have images on IIS.

The above method seems to be complicated, you can refer the first method Add images from OneDrive which I post it in my previous reply. Upload the image files to OneDrive and follow the steps in that documentation to get it.

In addition,  please review the below video. The video describe three methods, you can refer any one method to get it.

2. Binary.ToText(): Multiple Images (10 or more)

3. Higher Resolution or File Size Images
