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.

> 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.
