File Types

[SCUSDYouth]

What types of files can be uploaded to Caspio?

Is it possible to upload short videos?  Longer vidoes?  3-5 mins.?  30-60 minutes?

 

Would that take of too much Caspio storage space?

Hi there,

Plenty of information about files DataType in this article http://howto.caspio.com/files-and-images/

 

Good luck.

Storage is not as much of an issue, it is the Data Transfer in accessing the data you should take a look at.  Reference http://www.caspio.com/pricing/pricing-faq.aspx for Data Transfer information.  Each time you access these files, you could be incurring Data Transfer.

Thanks everyone for your prompt responses.

Hi,

You can upload most type of files such as documents, spreadsheet and images and most especially the most common sql file formats . You can also upload videos and music but can't be played. Since I think they don't have a player for that. These medias are treated as general files.

Hope this helps.

Hi - Just wanted to share this solution. If you want to restrict file type in multiple fields, just like in this article: https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/advanced-customizations/restrict-file-types-that-can-be-uploaded-in-a-datapage/

You can use this code:

<script type="text/javascript">

var files = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('#InsertRecordFIELDNAME1, #InsertRecordFIELDNAME2, #InsertRecordFIELDNAME3, #InsertRecordFIELDNAME4, #InsertRecordFIELDNAME5'));

var extensions = ['pdf'];

files.forEach(function(el) {
el.addEventListener('change', function(e) {

var ext = this.value.match(/.([^.]+)$/)[1];

if (!extensions.includes(ext)){

alert('Invalid file format. Please upload PDF only.');

this.value = '';

}
});});

</script>

Hope it helps!
