Better Uploader [UPDATED 2024] ☁

is it possible to add a feature to scaled down or reduce quality of raw images before send to database?

You can use cloud companion to compress images before uploading them. It’s one of my plugins, it’s 6$

Hi I’ve successfully implemented Better Uploader into my application. Due to the fact that my files are large (5-10gb) my main concern is resuming uploads that has been stopped (typically browser refresh or computer hybernation).

What are the recommended strategies solving that?

Is there any way to get the full local path of a file to at least restart an upload automatically without user action?

Are you planning to support TUS protocol?

Am I missing something that I would benefit from “off the shelf” to solve or aliviate this use case?

Thanks for your support!

Hey there :waving_hand:

Thanks for your question. Better Uploader uses a function provided by bubble to upload files . There’s no documentation about this protocol, so I can’t answer that. However, I know that you can’t get the file path from a browser. This is not possible because of privacy concerns. No websites or web applications can do that, as Javascript does not allow it.

All the best

Many thanks to your quick replay.

The summary is that there is no technical way to resume nor re-start halted partial uploads anytime we are re-using the native Bubble upload procedure, isn’t It?

Kind Regard

The user must keep the page open during an upload :slight_smile:

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has encountered different preview behavior when using Better Uploader + Better File Previewer on Chrome vs. Safari (MacOS, latest version).

I’ve been exploring Better Uploader for the past few days, and I find it to be an excellent solution—far superior to Bubble’s native uploader. Huge thanks to @jonah.deleseleuc for making it free and available to the community! It’s much appreciated :folded_hands: :flexed_biceps:.

Issue: Video Preview Differences Between Browsers

I’ve configured Better Uploader to allow image and video uploads only, with a file size limit of 50MB per file. However, when previewing .mov or .mp4 files, I noticed the following differences:

  1. Large File Mode: Enabled (Loader) + Preview File: Yes (Viewer)
  • Chrome: Works fine for small videos (~5MB), but for larger files (~15MB), the preview is blank, and the file gets auto-downloaded. In addition, for Image, the Object Fit doesn’t work , image displayed in actual size (doesn’t fit the display area).
  • Safari: Preview is always blank, regardless of file size.
  1. Large File Mode: Enabled (Loader) + Preview File: No (Viewer)
  • Chrome: Shows the file fallback image for all file sizes.
  • Safari: Works fine for all file sizes.
  1. Large File Mode: Disabled (Loader) + Preview File: No (Viewer)
  • Chrome: Shows the file fallback image for all file sizes.
  • Safari: Works fine for all file sizes.
  1. Large File Mode: Disabled (Loader) + Preview File: Yes (Viewer)
  • Chrome: Shows the file fallback image for all file sizes.
  • Safari: Works fine for all file sizes.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I’m curious if this is a known limitation or if there are any workarounds to make video previews more consistent across browsers. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi, could you help me with uploading files on Better Uploader?

Is it possible to set a file size limit for all files in total, instead of just for one file at a time? Also, is there a way to create a workflow that triggers a pop-up notification if a file exceeds a certain size, like 5MB, indicating that the file is too large?

I would appreciate any help or guidance! Thank you! :blush:

File preview seems to be broken. Even on demo.

This is so awesome
