Mass download of file attachment fields

Are you able to move them outside of Quickbase versus downloading? For example can you move them to Box, Google Drive or Sharepoint? Mass downloading would require a code page but you're likely to hit browser issues and more annoyance than it's worth. Your best bet is to make a pipeline that moves the files you don't want to a true file storage service, even just temporarily and then download them from there. 

The Pipeline idea is probably best, but another workaround is the browser add-on: Download them all. Just google that and you will find it. It's an addon that downloads anything on a web page, but literally on the page (what is in view). So if its a long list I usually have to make the page smaller so more of my files fit in view, then download, scroll down, download etc. It's not perfect but it's do-able.

Hi Julie,

If you're looking for options, QuNect Backup is another option. This is an executable that runs on your local machine and downloads to a local file system, like your c:\ drive. From there you can move the files to a file share on you local domain or cloud service.

The tool is an ODBC driver setup. We use a service account with Administrator permissions on every App with attachments. Pick an App and then pick which folders to download and define a local path for the files. Then start it an go do something else because it can take a while and will consume bandwidth depending on the cumulative size of all those files. Also make certain the local file store has more room than the total size of the attachments or bad things can happen. 

I'll give a shout out to Claude Von Roesgen who is a really nice guy. There are videos on the Qunect Website so you'll want paper and pencil to take notes.

Good luck

Hi Julie,
