I’m beginning to explore p5.js web editor, and I was wondering if there is a way to reuse an image from a previous project without uploading it again, since it’s already in my assets folder.  
Thank you!

You could host on something like dropbox …

```auto
let img, url = 'https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/35drk9bes8j0ups/train.png?dl=0';

function preload() {
  img = loadImage(url);
}

function setup() {
  createCanvas(img.width * 0.25, img.height * 0.25);
  img.resize(img.width * 0.25, img.height * 0.25);
}

function draw() {
  image(img, 0, 0);
}

```

Thank you for the alternative.  
The Assets folder has a Max of 250 MB, right?
