      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Currently web images are displayed through a link to the original content.
      This ticket is to suggest an option that allows the image data to be uploaded to confluence and embedded to the page.

      It would be beneficial for customer if they are prompt with an option to choose whether to insert the attachment as a link or upload the attachment on the local storage from Confluence.

            [CONFCLOUD-43522] Option to upload and embed copied web images

            Patrick Forssell added a comment -

            I agree, it is very confusing because Confluence "attaches" the images as links to the original source and does not upload them. This happens when copying content from multiple internal and external sources such as sharepoints and other confluence instances etc.

            Why this matters?

            • Users that do not have access to the external content they will see only broken images in confluence pages.
            • Users that have access may think that confluence has copied the images because it shows up for them normally. 
            • Users have to use extra time for saving image from the external source and paste it to confluence.

            Thanks for creating this.

            Copying content between Confluence instances means images refer to the original instance, where users might not have access to.

            When copying content from websites, these images may change / be removed which leaves you with broken content.
