Fast Image Upload - Only Missing Feature

Native mobile is pretty great. Fast image upload is the only thing missing.

Multi-image upload takes so long that it’s basically not useable.

Needed: User should be able to upload image

  • immediately see thumbnail of image
  • see loading in progress
  • allow upload behind the scenes
  • allow resize image before upload (smaller files = faster upload)

After this is added, I can build pretty much whatever i want.

Thanks for the feedback - agreed, image uploading is way to slow. We are looking into why this is the case. Love to hear that everything else is working out!

I dont see any uploader element in my editor. Is there something wrong?

There is no image uploader element. You can attach the “open camera” or “open library” action to any element/button you want

Got it. What about File uploads then? And Geographical address search?

Yoo @vomspace, for now, only image uploads are supported through workflows, but you can do a merge with custom webviews… checkout this topic for more resources on Bubble Mobile features!

Quick question here - would y’all expect to use an image uploader element rather than a workflow action?

since we’re all used to web apps…probably. But maybe since most apps would request access to photots in the same WF it makes sense?

What about a hybrid? Consider plugins we’re you can drop an invisible element on the page, and it then acts as both an action tool to upload images, and a watcher for any events.

@nick.carroll as long as it’s fast and reliable even with poor cell reception - I think most people will be good.

A major gripe with users on web mobile (PWA) is a lack of quick and reliable multi-image upload. My main reason for wanting native mobile was to solve this issue.

I think it makes more sense as a workflow.

This exact flow is very needed !

Appreciate the feedback everyone!

We also need the ability to upload files without a webview.
