Better record import control with file store limits

Hi,

I want to bring this thread back to people’s attention:

Better control of record imports from Airtable

Hi, TLDR: Not being able to control what records get imported into Glide from Airtable is a huge pain point. Is this something that is in the pipeline? Does anyone else have similar issues? Long version: I have been using Glide for roughly a week now and it has been great, but one of the things that I have been missing the most is the ability to have greater control of the records that I import. A very specific use case is that I have customers apply to use my website. As soon as they fill o…

Now that Glide is required to store attachments inside Glide natively due to Airtable expiring attachment URLs every other hour, we need greater control over what records we want to import into Glide.

I am currently importing A LOT of records that I don’t even need in Glide that have multiple attachments connected to them. These attachments are taking up my storage limit and would ultimately require me to delete records from my Airtable to avoid hitting that limit.

There are many benefits to given us more control over record imports using views or filters? Is this something that is on the roadmap or being considered?

Thanks
