Any ways to really manage the files?

Need help
1

I got a quick gig and noticed this bomb (image below), only to realize I never actually saw a way to sort by size or date.

Ideally, I wanted to send everything to an external storage, but it seems like a mess to do it with every file field type regardless of size and dates. Any ideas to help with it?

I realized this would be a bomb as soon as I started building on Bubble, that’s why I’ve been using Wasabi since the beginning… @ZeroqodeSupport has a very good plugin to manage it and Wasabi has a very robust privacy system…

While I’ve read that they are working on improvements, the current file management system in Bubble is pretty much non-existent. I’m curious how you’ll manage this migration. I’ll be following this topic to see if others have any ideas. As far as I know, it’ll be impossible to do this automatically.

Wish you good luck!

Wow, that is a lot of files.

Hmmm… my thinking would be to:

  • check the browser dev tools for network calls and “reverse-engineer” the API (it’s probably a S3 type of format)
  • create a script that reads all the files, size them
  • CRUD your way to success

  1. If you are using Wasabi you should use @alexcooney5 ’s plugin
  2. Every file (except maybe avatars) should be in a File data type. That solves the part you think is hard of having lots of strange file fields!

This is possible yes and I did it. Was also to do a cleanup with a custom file manager with searchable functions

Thank you everyone for the support!

We’re using Box for those older files, but I’ll check if Wasabi can be a better match.

George! How do u have time for forum, lol. And yes, absolutely! I’ve added it along with croppie and logs as soon as I’ve joined.

And here was I believing I was overthinking with that line. Nice one, and I’ll def look into that now. Thanks @rico.trevisan and @Jici !
