Currently the only way to insert an image into a design is by choosing the image file located on our local hard drive.
It is reasonable to expect that the person who creates an image (be it a drawing, or photograph) will very often not be the one who is developing the 3d model. Or that a person might create a drawing at home, upload it to the activity feed for everyone to see, then go into the office expecting the image to be available for use in a new design only to discover that they now have to re download the image to their work computer, then place it in the model. In the process they have created 3 copies of the drawing. One at home, one at work, and one in the cloud.
Idea in 2 parts.
1. I would propose that a mechanism for inserting images into open designs that are already uploaded to the project be provided.
2. I would propose that a system for cloud storage and editing of images related to projects be enabled.
For example allow project level cloud access to a program like SketchBook Pro so that images can be created, stored, edited, and updated in the same place as the rest of the project data.
There is already an Idea that requests Sketchbook functionality from within Fusion 360 as included functionality.

Rather than including Sketchbook Pro functionality directly into F360 I would see a program hypothetically known as SketchBook 360 which would simply be a version of Sketchbook Pro running in the Autodesk 360 environment.
Thanks for looking at this idea.
