Question

Can I create a filed/report to show the size of attachments?

Hi there, 

As my quickbase attachments space is reaching the storage limit, I hope to check all my documents by size and start to remove the largest files. I can sort all documents by the date, by name, or by other fields.

However, I was wondering can I create a field to show the size of the files? Like, we can sort emails by attachment size and delete those largest. 

Thank you.

Ning, As you have discovered, under App Management there is a tool to list all file attachments by size.  That's so far no one on this forum has figured out a way to show the file attachment size as a field on a record. I agree that would be very convenient.

Note that there is a tool in app management to "Manage File Attachments". It provides the total file attachment space in each table and drilling down, it will sort the records by largest attachment first.

I suggest migrating your attachments to the Amazon S3.   KeithJusas has some great tools to make this work.   The storage there is unlimited and very reasonably priced.
