I’m working on a project where I’m collecting images of client’s IDs. How can I have a backup or execute a massive download of all my client’s ID pictures?

Are you using native Glide tables, or an external data source such as Airtable or Google Sheets?

I’m using google sheets. Which interpret the pictures as links to glide storage.

Okay. So there are several ways you could approach this.
- If you are familiar with Google Apps Script, it would be relatively easy to write a script to download all the files and store them somewhere (in your Google Drive, for example)
- Another way to do it would be to use something like [make.com](http://make.com) to automate downloading and storing the images.
- If you happen to be a Mac user, then you could write a simple bash script to fetch them all using the wget utility program (there is probably something similar for Windows).
That’s just a few ideas. There could be several more.
