\*\* this is all a misunderstanding … \*\*

I have a bit of a privacy issue if my findings are correct.

i used app [Image Grabber App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/image.grabber/Image-Grabber/) to test something.  
Only to discover that it looks like that **all images are uploaded to google**.  
The image object

```auto
  droptoken: Image {
    manager: ManagerImages {
      _events: [Object: null prototype],
      _eventsCount: 4,
      _maxListeners: undefined,
      homey: [Homey],
      __client: [Object],
      _images: [Object],
      [Symbol(kCapture)]: false
    },
    id: '3ffdxxxx-97b8-xxxx-a5f8-a11d2893xxxx',
    __client: { emit: [AsyncFunction: emit] },
    cloudUrl: 'https://xxxx1498845c750b7b4xxxxx.connect.athom.com/api/image/3ffdxxxx-97b8-xxxx-a5f8-a11d2893xxxx',
    localUrl: 'http://192.168.xxx.xxx/api/image/3ffdxxxx-97b8-xxxx-a5f8-a11d2893xxxx'
  }

```

When i curl “[http://192.168.xxx.xxx/api/image/3ffdxxxx-97b8-xxxx-a5f8-a11d2893xxxx](http://192.168.xxx.xxx/api/image/3ffdxxxx-97b8-xxxx-a5f8-a11d2893xxxx)” i get the following

```auto

```

For me personally, that’s a big nono… or is it a setting that i can use local images only?

You can use the [FTP Client app](https://homey.app/a/nl.qluster-it.FtpClient/) for the same think.  
It has a flowcard: Retrieve a Image Token for URL.

It (also 🙂 ) does not send it to google!  
Here is the source for the app: [QlusterIT / nl.qluster-it.ftpclient — Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/QlusterIT/nl.qluster-it.ftpclient/src/master/)

Let me guess: you tested this with an image from Youtube?

I’m so sorry, you are so right.  
It was a google image.  
I started with a too big of an image and just did a quick search …  
Never to have to thougth that localUrl became an “shortlink” to the original url
