Hi, I’m working in the free plan and not able to activate the multiple file component. Is it only available to paying plans? The starter plan already has that component available? Thank you in advance ---

You need a multiple file column and a file picker to fill it. Do you have that? ---

Is your App a Classic App by any chance? These new column types are not available in Classic Glide Apps. ---

No, it’s no longer in Previews, which means that it’s available by default for all Apps. But not Classic Apps. So let me ask again - is your App a Classic App? If it is, then you won’t have access to the Multiple File and Multiple Image column types. If you’re not sure what a Classic App is, check your Project Dashboard: ![CleanShot 2023-07-24 at 00.46.42@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/4/a4d4104cd7d91b7fe3fb2e841875d3f5dd26a93a.png) ---
