Answer 1

No, not from you local machine.

You have to upload it to any hosting service like Dropbox and then get the link and use it.

Mark Etale I have a better idea for u it helped me also .
First upload ur file like image to Google drive on ur phone it takes 2-3 seconds to upload

Then use the following in html

<img src = "https://drive.google.com/uc?id=" img. png"&export=download">

img.png is only the id of the file till first forward slash

Replace img.png with ur file id
