I need to be able to download/export all file attachments defined in a table. Is there a script for this?

I need to be able to export all file attachments to a directory or memory drive that are being stored in one of my tables. What is the process for this? Thanks!

Paul - Looks like a great tool.  However, when I ran the Windows exe, logged in, and selected a Table, I received the error message "ERROR: An Application Token must be supplied.".  However, I was never given the opportunity to enter an App Token.  Or is it a fixed App Token.  If so, what is the App Token it is looking for so I can add it to my Quickbase app?  I searched the JavaScript code for it, but no reference to an App Token.

Thanks.

I recently downloaded 2,000 files from QuickBase to a zip file using an extension called https://www.downthemall.net/

That was a tip from Dan Diebolt.

I found it confusing using it but I muddled though and it worked fantastic.  I sent the Developer a $10 donation as its a donation funded tool.

I happened to be using Firefox at the time.

    Thanks for the suggestion Mark.   I did see that in this thread.  Problem is, I need a Record ID# associated with each File Attachment so I can tie it back to the CSV data.  Might be faster for me to write some code than looking for a solution.  :-)

      Joe, were you able to find a solution for exporting file attachments from a table with Record ID numbers?

        Paul, I ended up using the QuNect Backup.  Unique product approach.  You purchase the QuNect ODBC Driver for Quickbase, and then QuNect Backup is free (along with other tools too).  Details here: QuNect Backup.

        If you need any help, contact me directly, and I'd be happy to help.
