How to move an MS List including images from personal onedrive to sharepoint?

Adarsh 21

I have a list with an image column on my personal OneDrive. I would like to move it into our team's SharePoint without losing the images. How do I do that ?

Hi @Adarsh
Currently we could not copy image column to another list, this is by design.

As a workaround, we could use picture/hyperlink column to store images. When it comes to move them to another list, you could use powershell or Power Automate to get the items first, then copy them to destination.

For example, here is a method which is using a flow:

Thanks @Yi Lu_MSFT

I have followed your steps and was successful in the process. However, the pictures are looking very small. When I was using the image column in my old list I was able to change the width of the thumbnails to make them look bigger. How do I do that with the hyperlink/picture column?

This is the formatting that I used before with the image column. I tried copying and pasting them into the column formatting for the hyperlink/picture column but doesn't seem to be working.

{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
"elmType": "div",
"children": [
{
"elmType": "img",
"attributes": {
"src": "@currentField.serverRelativeUrl",
"title": "=if(@currentField.serverRelativeUrl == '', 'No picture available', @currentField)"
},
"style": {
"position": "relative",
"top": "50%",
"left": "50%",
"width": "200px",
"margin-left": "-50%",
"margin-top": "0%"
}
}
]
}

Hi @Adarsh
Unfortunately, column formatting could only change the size of image column instead of picture/hyperlink column, you could try to change the picture size from the original picture file.
