Sure, @usha, the demo can be viewed at the test URL…

(Bubble no longer allows deployment to live on unpaid plans, but I can’t update the original post here. :neutral_face:)

Thanks for sharing @sudsy :+1:

I can update it for you, @sudsy… just a sec.

@sudsy Any chance of removing the 50 MB upload limit? :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks!

Hi, @chaostorm. Not any time soon. That’s a limitation of Bubble’s legacy API. However, we are looking into developing a multi-uploader for our own projects, which we might release at some point.

What’s your use case? What kind of files are you uploading?

@sudsy Well, it was worth asking. :sweat_smile: A half of uploader plugins just threw 520 in my face over 50 MB without any explanation and yours was the first I encountered which was nice enough to output a nice message instead, which I very much appreciated.

Here’s what I’m thinking:

  • Video files up to 500 MB max;
  • Bubble’s default bucket, not an external file storage service;
  • One file uploaded at a time (though multi-uploader does sound nice);
  • No plugin UI or, if there is one, it needs to be 100% customizeable and responsive as per the new engine;
  • File rename functionality;
  • Exposed states for upload progress percentage, size, and file name;
  • Event for when it’s finished (ideally, per file) so I can fire off a backend process for some additional processing of each file: generating a thumbnail, creating a new DB object for the video with some additional data, etc.
  • Action for resetting the plugin.

I went through pretty much every uploader out there and hit the brick wall either with the 50 MB limit or some ugly UI. :slightly_frowning_face: Now I’m reaching the point where I’m starting to think I should just trade Bubble’s S3 for the Wasabi + CDN combo, which I already have elsewhere in the app for much larger files, and call it a day.

What was the issue with Bubble’s own uploader? It was updated a while ago, and it’s been a while since I looked at it, but I didn’t think it had an upload limit (or at least it was GBs). Plus, I thought it had a progress indicator.

@sudsy The two biggest issues I had with it:

  1. No file rename
  2. No state for file size

Looking at it now after quite a while, so let’s make it three:

  1. No way to control which file extensions are allowed.
