AnyDB File Cell

File Cell Type​

File cells are designed to store file attachments.

They can be used for storing documents, images, or any other type of file. File cells allow users to upload and manage files directly within AnyDB. This is particularly useful for applications that require document management or file sharing.

Uploading an image file from your clipboard​

To upload an image file, you can copy an image from your clipboard and paste it into the file cell.

This is useful for quickly adding images without having to save them to your computer first. Just select the image you want to copy, right-click on it, and select "Copy" or use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+C on Windows or Command+C on Mac). Then, click on the file cell and paste it (Ctrl+V on Windows or Command+V on Mac). The image will be uploaded to the file cell.
