I have a hosted feature layer "TREEINSPECTIONS" that contains a related inspection table and associated photos. The photos are visible through Field Maps.

I have tried downloading the  "TREEINSPECTIONS"  feature layer, which includes the related inspection table but there are no photos included in the download. I am downloading as a FGDB. See image below.

Am I doing something wrong to get the photos?

Thanks

You'll need to run a script to extract the BLOB data from the table and create the image files. You can follow this workflow to do that.

When you download the fgdb, it should include all layers and tables unless you've specified otherwise with a query. The photo data is stored as BLOB data in the table with _ATTACH

Thanks Katherine:

I see the name of the photo in the _ATTACH table but where is the actual photo? I don't see it in the downloaded zip file.

Thanks
