I’m storing some images in a File Object Class, and when I fetch the data using the graphql explorer I see that the file has a File Content URL:

![data from GrahphQL](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/appfarm/original/2X/1/121b0c1323e30d5e368b0cafae1e8eed3ad7b5fa.png)

But when loading the same object in my app, the File Content URL field is empty

🤔

Any ideas where I am going wrong? The file is marked as public

Hi @oyvind.byhring,

Could the issue be related to the file not being used in your app, as outlined here: [Appfarm Documentation](https://docs.appfarm.io/reference/appfarm-client/developer-tools-for-apps#app-data)? To double-check, could you try incorporating the file into your app and test again?

Thanks!

Thanks Simona, I wasn’t aware of that behavior 🙂

That brings me closer, but not to the goal unfortunately.

I’ve got the same File Object read into a single cardinality Database Connected source and Runtime Only source.

If I link these up to an Image component, only the Database Connected source seems to get a content URL:

@oyvind.byhring and I were unable to replicate the reported issue within the solution. It is now functioning as expected.
