We’ve just released a new free plugin called File Downloader! This allows you to run a simple workflow action to download a file through your browser (and specify a file name!).
To use it, just search for the File Downloader plugin and add it to your Bubble app. Once added, you’ll have a new action available called “Download file.”
Currently this only works with individual files (including zip files), but the ability to download multiple at once (potentially as a zip file) is in the works!
I’m not able to get the download plugin working. I’ve saved the file to my db. I have a repeating group with a download icon, here’s my workflow:
Nothing is happening after I click on the download icon. I’ve also tried to Set State with the current record and download from the Set State condition, but nothing happens. Also setting the dynamic link to the file’s URL.
Sorry for reviving this old thread, but I figured this could prevent some people to go nuts:
I use this plugin in many apps, and I couldn’t figure out until today why the download workflow action was working with some apps and not with others.
Long story short, something might be missing in the File Downloader plugin: if you add the plugin “Air Copy to clipboard” as well the download workflow action of the File Downloader plugin will work as expected.
Probably working if you combine with some other plugins as well.
Hey @Lucien can you tell me exactly how you did this?
I’m running into the exact same problem. File Downloader is not working.
I tried simply installed the Copy to Clipboard plugin. That didn’t help.
I tried adding the Copy to Clipboard plugin to my workflow, but what is its purpose there?
Sorry for the bug and thanks for reporting the issue here.
Expect the plugin to fail with really large files. It uses an approach which doesn’t allow a file larger than the amount of RAM available to the browser tab, which for many devices/browsers will max out at about 500mb. on other devices/browsers it could go up to multiple GB.
