Any chance you could post here how to handle the multi-file upload question she had? I’m dealing with the same issue. I honestly didn’t know you had to use the “when file is uploaded” as a trigger, so that helps a little, but we’re allowing multi-file upload, so making this one action vs. multiple would be awesome.
Hi, Jonah!
Yes, I need to reset the plugin when the user ‘changes’ the media format (image, video or carousel).
I noticed that the Reset event was firing even when the user selected the media type for the first time and I noticed that the error indicated something like “There is nothing to reset here”
What I did was create a conditional for the “reset” event to fire only when Raw Data is > 0
Thanks!!
Jonah, this is an extremely useful feature. I’m eagerly awaiting this improvement 
I did some tests and it seems to me that the files are sorted according to their name at the time of upload, right?
hi @jonah.deleseleuc
im pretty new using bubble and are still in learning process but i felt over your better upload plugin and i must say that i love all the funtions you have implemented in this.
so im trying to set this up for the needs i have but cant seem to get it to work as i want so i hope you can help me…
first of all in the better file uploader when i drag a file to there it seems to upload the file straight after i drag the files there or click and chose the file… so i dont get to preview it or rename it…
second of all in your better previewer i cant get it to show any files neither before or after upload… i was hoping i could use the better previewer the same way as a repeating group because i have now tried using repeating group in other setups and that just dont want to work for me either…
and last… im trying making a crm system… so want the uploaded files to be attached to specific registred customers from one of my database… how do i make that possible, so they will be attached but also that the uploaded files attached to that entry in my database only can accessed when entering the overview of that entry…
that was alot of question… i hope you have time to can help me out with this 
I’m sorry but I don’t understand how to upload the files once they’re in the uploader. I managed to get the ‘files’ the RG, but what is supposed to happen then? I would like to create a ‘doc’ datatype for each file and attach it to another object. @jonah.deleseleuc Can you please walk me through?
Hey Jonah,
Great work on this plugin. I was wondering if you could explain how to bypass uploading a file to the native Bubble database and instead send to an AWS S3 bucket. Is this relatively straightforward?
how do I preview the raw file? I have tried using the better file previewer and setting the dynamic link to better uploaders raw data
Hi @jonah.deleseleuc Thanks for the great plugin. It seems there is a bug with renaming files. I need to change .JPG to .jpg.
I’m checking the steps in workflow step-by-step. I see that the new name is what I need.
Then I write it to the database. And here’s where something strange happens. Check the screenshot.
Hello, I’m trying to use the Better Uploader to add pics, Cloud Compression to compress them, and a third plugin, "Croppie Extended - Image Crop,” to crop and rotate the images.
One of the reasons I am using Better Uploader is that you can now process .HEIC images.
However, I’m having a problem.
After the images are uploaded, I want to process them with the image cropper/rotator. But it only works with images that did NOT start out as .HEIC images.
When I load an .heic image with Better Uploader, it converts it to a jpg. So far so good. But when I try to open one of these images in my cropper, I get the following error message:
Invalid file type, expects: jpeg, png, gif, bmp
Do you know why this is happening? And if there is anything I can do to make it work?
Here is what one of the image names looks like:

Is the problem that “.HEIC” just before the “jpeg” at the end of that name?
Thanks for reading, and thanks for an otherwise excellent plugin.
When renaming files using the send to cloud action, you need to split the filename using the :split operator. You need to split by “.” And select first item
I apologize, but I don’t follow this. A couple points.
-
I don’t need to rename the image. The original file name is fine with me. Doesnt’ matter. Can’t I just leave the names alone?
-
I was mistake that the .heic image are being converted. As far as I can tell, after the better uploader uploads them, they remain .heic image.
In the above image, all the files on the left are actually the same image. I was experimenting with renaming them. But in all cases, they remain .heic images, and Bubble sees the file type as “application/octet-stream.” No idea what that is, but seems bubble doesn’t see these as images, or something. What am I missing?
- the cloud compressor is neither resizing nor compressing the images. I set it at a 1mb max and 800 pixels max width. They remain their original size and weight.
I really really want to get this settled and working. I can’t find anything else that can do what I need. I was using different plugins, but they stopped working for no discernible reason. So… hoping you can help.
Just noticed that the cloud compressor lists a series of image types it can handle. But it doesn’t include .heic images. Is this the problem?
Hi @jonah.deleseleuc . If I do as you say, I no longer have .jpg at the end.
Even though it writes correctly to the database, the file is 404 anyway.
You can leave the filenames alone by leaving the filename field empty when uploading to cloud. It’s an optional field
hey little stuck on how to add the file into data base, can you share me pic of how that works I am trying to send a file using this plug in to an api
Hi @jonah.deleseleuc - Great work on the plugin! One thing I don’t get to work is “Remove file from…”. It also doesn’t seem to work on the demo page?
Hi @jonah.deleseleuc
Thanks for the good work. This is really nice.
I’ve used the dropzone feature and it works fine.
But is there a way to have the same hover feature as with the standard uploader ?
Like when I’m dragging files on top of it, can I add a condition that changes the background color for example?
Also:
- I think it would be nice if you could add new files by just drag and dropping them on the dropzone (without having another button)…
- It would be nice if I could have the dropzone act just like the uploader (browse files on click).
- Is there a way to reset the uploader ? Like once my files are uploaded ?
- It very often adds the first file twice when I have selected more than one (even though the right number of them show up in my RG, it’s just when I use the ‘upload action’)
Cheers,
Arthur
