QuickBase Straight Up

Files are getting bigger and online storage space is becoming more abundant, so it’s no surprise that many QuickBase users have sought alternatives to the fees incurred when you store more than  QuickBase’s 100MB limit. For those users who have maxed out their storage space, QuickBase Nation is offering a new service that provides an expanded 500MB of free file storage for QuickBase.

If you need more than 500 megs, stay tuned for QuickBaseNation’s Preferred Membership — available in November.

Setting It Up
Â
Configuring QuickBase Nation’s file storage service is easy. QuickBase Nation piggybacks off of your QuickBase account, so the first step is to log into QuickBase. Then, in a new browser window, navigate to QuickBaseNation.com and sign into your free QuickBase Nation account. Once logged in, click the Free File Storage link.
Â
The file storage utility currently allows you to add expanded file sharing capabilities to one table. From the list of tables, select the one to which you want to add the expanded file storage, and come up with a name for your files (it should be a singular noun; for instance, correspondence or photo).

 

QuickBase Nation will then add a set of three fields to your table: upload, download, and delete. These will allow you to manage your attached files through a simple interface. Add the three fields to your forms and reports to fully integrate the new file storage capabilities into your application.
