There is no built-in way for a user to share or download an uploaded file (image, document, or video/file attachment) from within the app itself. The only ways I have found to get a copy of a file out of the app are:
- Open the attachment, then rely on the device’s or browser’s own native share/download option if one happens to appear (this is inconsistent across devices and not something AppSheet provides).
- Go directly to the connected Google Drive folder and download the file from there, bypassing the app entirely.
For an app whose users are not technical, expecting them to go find the file in Google Drive is not a reasonable workaround. A simple “Share” or “Download” button next to an attachment, similar to what many other no-code platforms offer, would solve this.
Expected: a native action or button, available on Image/File/Video type columns, that lets the user share or download the file directly from within the app, without needing OS-level tricks or access to the underlying Drive folder.
Request: please consider adding a built-in Share/Download action for file-type columns (Image, File, Video).
