Qrew LegendI suggest contacting Juiced. They have add ons for uploading files where the file is actually stored on a 3rd party locations such as dropbox or Amazon S3 servers.

I know a lot of people use Juiced, but i can't believe there's not a way I can do this myself without paying them $500 a year. That may not seem like a lot to larger companies, but I have to account for every dollar I spend and a simple file storage for $500 is way more than I spend on dropbox or any other file storage options.

- MarkShnier__YouThere are new file handling capabilities which have recently been announced for Pipelines. I also believe they have weekly "OfficeHours" specifically for Pipelines where you can ask some Quick Base expects for assistance.

------------------------------- Yeah I watched a pipelines demo where they used Box.com. it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, as the file storage still happened through box, but it just created a link back to the QBase record. So the user will still be uploading to a third party service. Seemed a little clunky compared to what I was hoping for. Can I just buy more storage through quickbase? and if so, is that a good idea?

------------------------------- MarkShnier__YouThere is no technical limit to the total attached file size, so yes, you can put in a ticket to be contacted by Sales to see what the cost will be to add attached storage or else just go into your account settings and see what the prices are for additional file storage.
Then you can compare that cost to the Juiced cost or the value of your time and effort to try a DIY solution with Pipelines.
