Hey community, i want my users to be able to upload multiple audio and video files, so my question is where would those be saved on the glide database? When i choose audio under media or file picker i’m not sure if that’s for me to upload audio for the app or if its for my users to upload audio onto the app.

Audio component = plays audio from a column specified  
File picker = uploads (audio) to a column specified

What type will that column be on glide data sheets? I don’t see a type for media besides photo.

All media is saved as a URL. If you make it a URL or Text column, you’ll be able to access the entry.

I agree that a specific Audio or Video column type would be a nice to have at some point.
