Native file actions for Glide Storage (Print & Download)

Glide apps often generate and store documents (PDF reports, exports, contracts), but files in Glide Storage cannot be printed or reliably downloaded.

Problem

  • No native Print action for files stored in Glide
  • No reliable Download trigger (UI or workflow)
  • Developers are forced to use external storage (e.g. Google Drive) only to enable basic file actions

Request

Add first-class file actions for Glide Storage:

  • Print file
  • Download file
  • (Optional) workflow actions to trigger print/download or generate temporary download links

Why this matters

Many Glide apps are document-centric, especially in professional and B2B contexts.

Without native print/download support, Glide cannot act as a primary document system.

This feature would:

  • simplify automations
  • reduce external dependencies
  • improve UX and professionalism of Glide apps

Example

A user generates a PDF in Glide and wants to print or download it immediately.

Today: :cross_mark: requires workarounds

With this feature: :white_check_mark: native and predictable

Does anybody else also needs this?
