Currently, Thunkable has a component to upload to `Cloudinary` only. For any other upload, you will have to use API or JavaScript Extension of the `Web Viewer`. ---

If you are attempting to upload from your phone/device then this option is not currently available in Airtable itself. See this post > [@Is it possible to use Thunkable As interface to attach any file from my IPhone into Airtable?](https://community.thunkable.com/t/is-it-possible-to-use-thunkable-as-interface-to-attach-any-file-from-my-iphone-into-airtable/1140700): > > In my Airtable I have a field attachement: Is it possible via Thunkable to select any document from my IPH and attache them to the field attachement from airtable , opening airtable via Thunkable . The airtable must not be directly accessible. Is it possible that thunkable emulate this slight_smile [IMG\_0392] ---

Surprisingly, I am able to upload attachments to Airtable from within Thunkable on the phone. ---

Does that work with photos from a photo album? I need a way to do that for a student directory app I’m designing. ---

Hello! can you show the code to upload attachments to Airtable from within Thunkable, as you earlier mentioned? Thanks a lot! I am a bit stuck 🙂 ---

This topic is three years old so I’m not sure you’ll get an answer. Unfortunately, Airtable has made it so that you cannot store attachments in their database and access them in Thunkable. They no longer have permanent urls.
