The most common method if you want to securely store the images is to put them in documents and reference the file id in Product2. I think it is safe to assume that Salesforce's recommended method would be the one that they used in their own app where they reference the file id of the image file in documents through a custom field with api name Image_Document_ID__c. | |

| Nov 12, 2017 at 1:52 | comment | added | Joseph Nardone | Thanks for the great references. The blog and the Force Labs app both store the product image in documents and reference it with a custom field in Product2 that contains the image file Id. Unfortunately, the blog uses Image_ID__c for the field api name while Force Labs uses Image_Document_ID__c. I think I will assume that more organizations will use the Force Labs field api name and go with that. | |

| Nov 11, 2017 at 19:40 | comment | added | glls | that is a lot of images, are they mostly associated to 1 object? | |
