Kindly, I have a file picker component at Glide Pages form.

How can i represent the uploaded file, and allow users to view or download it?.

Hi Hani,

Trying using the “link” component, and pointing it to to the file-picker column. In the configuration you can display the actual URL text or you can display some other text that will link to the file.

Hi @Hani_Ibrahim,

You can add the Open Lick action to a button or to the list and point that column where the file is stored!

Thank you

I believe you can view the file inside the Page when Glide Team released Web View for Pages!
