The file link that you built in the client app probably looks like this



URLRoot() & "up/" & "xxxxxx" & "/a/r" & [Record ID#] & "/e103/v0"


Where 103 is the field ID# of the file attachment field.

On that file attachment field in the main app, look for the setting box 

"Allow access to this file attachment from a QuickBase link without signing in"


That is a recent enhancement from QuickBase to deal with your situation.  That checkbox should allow the access you need.

Great :) This will work for me. As far as I know we can't sync any attachment fields but through your solution we can access it.

Thank you mark :)
