How do I find the storage address of an image / copy image outside of Ninox ?

I have a “Photo” image field and I would like to be able to share it outside Ninox, either by exporting it or via API REST.

When I do that, I just have the name of the image: “G1812/Jacques 3.jpeg ”.

What I would like is the full address: https://dbdeXXXXX.ninox.com/XXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/files/download/G1812/Jacques%203.jpeg

How can I find this address and use it outside of Ninox?
Or any other way to share an image outside of Ninox?

    Already tried the hamburger icon in the imagefield where you have an option : Share this file...

    With this you can create a url to that image.

    Hello Jacques.
    This solution need an Ninox API-Key.
    In the 0001_Ninox-Reference is an example (Nr. 21) in table “Praxisbeispiele/Examples” which shows, how to calculate the Sharelink automaticly.
    You only have to put the ShareLink-ID once to the global function.
    The link in the example refers to a demo.

    Jaques,

    Do you have a cloud subscription? I can invite you to the Webinar DE 2020 team where you will find that Reference table and alot of other examples.

    Or you can create a free trial subscription to get access for 1 month.

    All I need is your Ninoxaccount-email to send you an invite.

    Steven.

    Rosoft,

    I believe I have the same question. I am using Ninox on the IPAD, I have also started a free trial of ninox on my laptop PC. I have created a database that has an image field. The database allows me to hand the Ipad to an applicant at a job fair and they enter their data and take a picture of thier resume. I can see the pics of the resumes in the table but I can not figure out how to then export the table with images to a PC. What is the best way for me to send you my Ninoxaccount-email?

    There's this new function introduced in Ninox version 3.4.0 to get the shared URL of images or files.

    shareFile(ID,STRING or IMAGEFIELD)

    Parameters :

    ID = Record ID (this)
    STRING = Name of the file incl. file extension
    IMAGEFIELD = Name of the imagefield

    examples:

    shareFile(this,"Butterfly.jpeg") ➤ Result: https://share.ninox.com/1x3fy22rpt6xmzixpu3tatwxzzzy2cdge6rzf
    shareFile('My Image') ➤Result:https://share.ninox.com/uutqp3nakjy7uqka7sjhtmc1n1ku6sg3iw6t

    You can use this in a button like this: (first make a URL-field, in my example called ImageLink and the table is called Clients)
    I also make a loop to get all the links filled from the table at once.

    for i in select Clients do
    i.(ImageLink := i.shareFile(Picture))
    end

    Now, if you print the records to PDF (with the URL-field included), you can click in the PDF the Link to display the Image where you can download it if nessesary.
    Or make a shared view of the table where you also have all the images and the links.

    All of the above only works with a cloud version and the tables must be in a team (not in the tab 'My databases').
