Just has to come from an internet source and not your phone or hard drive?

“Just has to come from an internet source and not your phone or hard drive?”

Correct. (Sadly.)

Before an image can live on FR, it has to make a stop at the Internet.

A photo for FR can come from your hard drive, but it is a project not for the faint of heart...you have to have a file server running 24/7/365 in your home/business with the appropriate holes punched in your firewall/router ports to allow public access from the Internet. Easier to just use a “file/photo hosting site”.

IOW: FR’s software/database does not store photos, just text and LINKS to photos stored elsewhere (then FR displays the linked photo).
