can we upload photos using a feature Service.

[Anonymous User]

Hi,

Above is the feature Service Supported operations.

Question: Can we can upload Images to a feature Services using the "Add Features" or "Update Features" option.

Background: We have a web application built using ArcGIS javascript API. There is a new requirement, to explore and see if we can upload an image from the App(like file upload), We are trying to see if we can use a Feature Service supported operations to upload images. Is it possible? if not, what are the other ways to do this?

Thanks

Muralidhar,

  No. You can not upload a photo using "Add Features" or "Update Features" directly. If your feature service supports attachments then you can add the photo as an attachment.

If this is an AGOL host Feature Service:

If it is on your own ArcGIS Server:
