Hello So I have my first Glide Page working really well and am very pleased with it. The people using it have been very receptive. So I would now like to push ahead and expand the app. My first attempt was mainly a learning exercise and trying out Glide. I now feel confident enough to take it f…

Jeff’s mention of Cloudinary reminded me of the below, which may be of interest. [image] Upload multiple images to Cloudinary Community Resources Intro I thought I was going to publish my first app in the Template store but external sources like Cloudinary integration are…

How many images do you have? 5GB is on average 2500 photos. I would say that if your images are already stored in Airtable, then you can continue to use airtable’s storage as long as the url points to that external storage…BUT, since Airtable started expiring and reissuing link urls every few hour…

@glide Explain how Glide handles changing Airtable images urls.

This is an experimental reply from a bot. Please like it if it’s correct. When you connect an Airtable base to Glide, any images stored in Airtable will be automatically stored in Glide. This ensures that the images remain accessible to users of Glide projects, even if the Airtable URL expires. How…

Thanks Jeff - appreciate it. Need to have a rethink - the base I need to import from Airtable has 8GB of attachments so I would be over…

Cloudinary might be a good solution, so I found this. Looks like it should store images in cloudinary and give you a url. You’ll just have to find a way to make the existing attachment column inaccessible to glide so it doesn’t try to take over your storage. No More Static URLs for Atta…

@Andrew_Davies Hi Andrew. You might get inspired by this post. Cloudinary has an auto upload feature where images are automatically uploaded when used. I had the image uploaded to glide then copied to cloudinary and then deleted the image in glide Maybe you actually get all the images loaded to…

That’s great!! Thanks so much for sharing. Great post and ever so useful
