Hello there! I’m having a problem with the Glide app file system. When client uploads files I dont have access to them. I cannot find them in the spreadsheet and I dont want to log in as every client to download the attachments. I was wondering how can I fix that? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/c/0c1ce1d41b4ae376362a7074df8bfcf6c576752a.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/4/b4fc5d668a0e314856977f53b146f205ce5edfc5.png) ---

Can you show a screen shot of the column that the files are added to? Also, what data source are you using? ---

I want to use multiple files so I use this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/7/17cad8379e42f181486ea197c6caa7a4a60ac40f.png) For my clients 3 files is sometimes not enough to fit whole request. ---

Okay, that’s better thank you. Your multiple files column is user specific because you are using an external data source. See below for more information and options. > [@New Multiple Image & File Upload - Future Tweaks](https://community.glideapps.com/t/new-multiple-image-file-upload-future-tweaks/64168/25): > > If your data source is not a Glide table, the Multiple Files/Multiple Images columns will be user specific, so only the user that uploaded them can see them. The solution is to either use Glide tables instead, or not use the Multiple Files/Multiple Images columns and instead use a basic column that only let’s you upload 1 single file into that column. If you need multiple files, then you will need multiple separate columns. ---
