Adding Images to Sharepoint List

When adding in image to a Sharepoint List is it possible to select the source as a document library from the same Sharepoint site?   Thanks

Todd Lane yes it is. In the image below the location of the flag in the Flag column is a document library on the same site and displays the actual flag in the JSON-formatted view.

Thanks RobElliott, but Im talking about the process of uploading in the first place. Whn I select add image, I just get directed to C Drive. I tried typing Sharepoint address in the Address Bar but nothing happens

    Todd Lane As you are using Image column type in list, this is the default behavior for image columns in SharePoint.

    Using this column type, you can only select single image, that too from your computer/system only.

    Todd Lane that's the default behaviour if you selected Image as the column type. If you want to paste in a url from a document library then create a hyperlink column instead. Then go to list settings and for that new column change the Format URL As from Hyperlink to Picture.
