I cant find any reference at the moment and don't know if it is a security issue w$$anonymous$$ch is why you are unable to do so.

Any help would be appreciated.

are you trying to make a photo viewer? I t$$anonymous$$nk that it is certainly possible to do t$$anonymous$$s, but typically you just want to drag the files into your project. A URL can also be used to load files. "http://www.myfile.com" would work about the same as "c:/users/me/myfile.jpg" I believe. You can even find files that are in your project folder using C# like t$$anonymous$$s

 string fileLocation = Application.dataPath + @"/Resources/mypic.jpg";

UPDATE: Will add my script's asap for other's to use, managed to get the image to save inside the applications folder, and load it in real time as a texture.
