I have tons of images tied to records in my App.
I know I can download the database as a CSV file.
How can I retrieve the thousands of images and documents that I’ve uploaded to Glide over the last few years?
If someone knows of an Automation tool that will batch download from the URLs in a CSV file, I’d appreciate a link to that!
Hi David 
When you export data from a table or from the entire app, you should see URLs for files and images inside the file and image columns.
So as far as I know, you cannot batch download the images and files directly from Glide, but you have access to all of the URLs to those files and images. If you have thousands of such URLs, there are probably website or automations (Automator on Mac for instance) that might allow you to automate the process of downloading or backing up the files.
Thanks, yes, I know about the URL’s. I actually have a program I downloaded years ago that will batch download from a website. But I have not tried pointing it to my Glide Classic App’s URL. Perhaps I will give that a try.
Well, looks like Glide has something built-in to prevent automators from downloading from my App URL.

Hi @David_Gabler. Try this extension on Google Chrome. It downloads multiple links at once instantly. I have used it before.
I use this one.
We don’t prevent you from downloading your files. Perhaps your crawler program respects robots.txt, but you already know your file URLs so you don’t need to crawl anything.
David whats going on with my plan???
