“Hello Adalo community 👋,  
I’m working on my app and I’d like to add a video upload feature for users.  
Is there a way to implement this within Adalo? If so, could someone guide me on how to set it up step by step?  
Any tips or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!”

Hey @Wiseman, you can upload usually videos as normal files by using the (File picker) component, and save them into the database by creating a new collection record.

Let me know if you’d like more info or steps on the setup.

Hi @Wiseman,

In addition to the Ali’s response: file uploads have some constraints in Adalo. The upload size is limited. There is no clear information whether it is limited by size - experience shows ~50 Mb, or is limited by upload time (~30-40 sec).  
If that’s not enough, you can use tools like Adalify as a workaround ([https://www.adalify.com/](https://www.adalify.com/)) - you can search the forum, there had been numerous discussions about video uploads. There were some other alternatives as well.

Best,  
Victor.
