I have an automotive repair database (repair orders) with container fields where I can add documents and photos... its FMP15 and win7. Things I find on the web I can simply drag and drop most of the time, which works fine, but I'm also wanting to add photos taken in the shop with an Android phone. I can think of a number of ways that might work but I'm wondering if anyone has already developed a solution that does this.
Ideally, I'd take a photo in the shop and it would magically appear in the database, but presuming this isn't practical (or possible) I'm thinking of just using the google cloud, allow my photos to be uploaded, maybe to a special folder or something, and then drag and drop on a computer.
Any better ideas?
Yes, that's why I said that is was very simple.
Bonsai is a hobby of mine. I use this technique to manage my trees and insert periodic pictures of them into a "notes" table.
You can tap on a container field to get an option to either take a picture via the camera or you can add a picture previously taken in the picture catalog.
There's also a very useful step, Insert From Device that lets you control what happens more explicitly.
