Upload file from a url

monday Apps & Developers Feature Requests - API and Apps Framework
1

Hey,

I’d like to be able to upload files to a files column and specify a url from which monday should fetch the file from. This will allow me to use client / browser side upload file apis such as amazon s3, google cloud storage, and others and then call the monday files api from my server with a url to the file already uploaded.

My use case

In order for Eazyform to support uploading files to a files column when submitting a form, I need to be able to upload files from the web. Since I can’t expose my app’s monday user access token on the web, I can’t call the files api directly from the web.

Developing an upload file tunnel is challenging, since my server side functions are serverless, and are limited by the amount of time they can run.

In order to support the max uploaded file size limit, best would be to use popular file storage services that already deal with uploading files from the web and then provide the url to the already uploaded file.

Thanks,
Ronen Babayoff

Hey @rbabayoff - that’s a great suggestion, thank you for submitting it. Hopefully this is something we can implement in the future.

Hey @rbabayoff ,

Thank you for following up on this! At this time, I don’t have any updates to share on uploading files from a URL just yet, although I definitely see how this could be extremely helpful for your app.

I appreciate the check-in, though. :slight_smile: As soon as we have an update on this, we’ll be sure to share it with you and the community.
