I would like to make an app where the user can type a report into the rich text editor, including images. I want the user to be able to upload images from their desktop directly into the rich text report. Is there a way to do this? It looks like I need to provide a source URL rather than being able to upload an image.

Hey!

Yes, you are correct, although you should be able to upload files to any service
like S3 and use the URL in your rich text editor. At this juncture, we don't
image upload directly to the rich text editor.

Okay thanks. Is there any work around for uploading images that are located on an individuals desktop computer? It seems like I am only able to uplaod images from the web.

You can use a FilePicker widget to upload the image from your computer. Then in
an Image widget, you can use {{FilePicker1.files[0].data}} to display the
image:
