How to Export All Files from Bubble File Manager (No Plugin Needed)

Tips

For those looking to export all files from the Bubble File Manager:

Since Bubble doesn’t provide a built-in way to export everything, I needed a solution and this worked perfectly for me.

You just need to:

  1. Go to Data → File Manager
  2. Open your browser console (DevTools → Console)
  3. Paste the script below

It will automatically fetch all files and download a full CSV export.

It loops through all batches (50 by 50), shows live progress in the console, and generates a CSV with all file metadata + a usable CDN URL.

Here’s the script:

async function exportAllBubbleFiles() {
  let allFiles = [];
  let cursor = 0;
  const limit = 50;
  let hasMore = true;

  const CDN_BASE = "https://YOUR_CDN_ID.cdn.bubble.io"; // replace with your CDN domain

  while (hasMore) {
    const res = await fetch("https://bubble.io/appeditor/list_uploaded_files", {
      method: "POST",
      credentials: "include",
      headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        appname: "your-app-name", // replace with your app name
        app_version: "live",
        cursor: cursor,
        limit: limit,
        filename: "",
        only_private_file: false,
        file_type: "all",
        sort_type: "date",
        descending: true
      })
    });

    const data = await res.json();
    const results = data.response?.results || [];

    if (results.length === 0) {
      hasMore = false;
      break;
    }

    allFiles.push(...results);
    cursor += limit;

    console.log(`Loaded ${allFiles.length} files`);
  }

  const allKeys = new Set();
  allFiles.forEach(file => {
    Object.keys(file).forEach(key => allKeys.add(key));
  });

  const columns = Array.from(allKeys);
  columns.push("full_cdn_url");

  const csv = [
    columns,
    ...allFiles.map(file =>
      columns.map(col => {
        if (col === "full_cdn_url") {
          return `"${CDN_BASE}/${file.s3_key_text || ""}"`;
        }
        const value = file[col] ?? "";
        return `"${String(value).replace(/"/g, '""')}"`;
      })
    )
  ]
    .map(row => row.join(","))
    .join("\n");

  const blob = new Blob([csv], { type: "text/csv;charset=utf-8;" });
  const link = document.createElement("a");
  link.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
  link.download = "bubble_file_manager_export.csv";
  link.click();
}

exportAllBubbleFiles();

That’s it.

Hope it helps someone.

Just to clarify: once you have the CSV, you can use a small Python script to automatically download all files from the full_cdn_url column.

Simply ask your LLM (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) to generate the Python script for you — it will also explain step by step how to run it and optionally create a zip of all your files.

That’s how I completed the full export process.
