Single File vs. Multiple Files

This is small, but I would like to propose that we add a column option called Single File to the list of Basic column types.

Experienced Gliders will instinctively know that you should use a URL column for a single file. However, I doubt this is obvious for new users. To me it seems sensible to have 2 options: Single and Multiple types even if the Single option simply creates a URL type column. This makes further sense when using the file picker component since you would expect this to be linked to a File column (multi or single vs. a URL).

I’m eating humble pie since I have created quite a significant App and the files were stored using a Multi file column - I had wrongly assumed that the single file option was no longer available. I had forgotten the URL column was required.

hehe, it’s a fair request.
This probably falls into the category of “once you know, you know” :slight_smile:

Well yes and no. The precedent has been set with images.
