Users - Video Uploading

Hi all,

Wanting to add video uploading to my app, for users to upload videos

How do I go about this? I added a file to my database collection, added it to the upload screen but that’s far as I’ve got.

I’ve never added this to an app before so I am welcoming advice from more experienced Adalo users.

Thank you!

Hi @TechaSoftware ,

At the moment, you can use file property to upload video into your application.

Thanks!

Ended up using the video component, tested it out and it seems to be working good :slight_smile:

Hi,
Just so you know, the native file upload function is limited to 50mb in file size, hence it’s pretty useless for production use.
I hacked together a script that directly allows uploading multiple files into a S3 bucket, but it’s really annoying that the native function is so limited; you can also only upload one file per file picker, so you might need to place several of them in the UI.

That was my experience building this couple months ago, maybe it has changed in the meantime, but wouldn’t count on it.

Thank you for the info!

That’s quite a shame. I would love to use it for my app but I think I’ll take it out if 50mb is all it is capable of!

Feel free to test it, but that’s how it was when I built my app. As I want users to upload video files (large ones, and more than one), the native upload was effectively useless. Maybe it’s updated by now, but I don’t think so tbh.

@james.crennan any insight on this from you or your team please? :slight_smile:

Ok

We’ve been asked about video upload limits of 50mb. We’re got it on our roadmap to look at beyond the speed improvements and some of the higher ranking Canny requests.
