An attachment field allows you to attach multiple files directly to your Airtable records. If the file is an image, the cell will show thumbnails of the files you've attached.
Attachment fields work very well with gallery view, a view designed to showcase attachments on large cards. For more information on gallery view, please read the gallery view support article.
Viewing attachments
Expand the cell with the circular expand cell button to see even larger versions of the thumbnails.
For most document attachments, you'll see a preview thumbnail of the document as well.
Clicking on an attachment preview will open up a full screen lightbox attachment browser that will allow you to view every attachment in the cell. You can use the left and right arrow keys to quickly page through all the attachments in a single cell.
Uploading attachments
To upload an attachment to a cell in an attachment field, you can click the plus (+) button on the cell to which you'd like to add an attachment, or click on the Attach file button in the expanded cell.
This will bring up a file uploader dialog which will let you upload attachments from a variety of different sources.
You can also drag and drop attachments onto a cell, expanded cell, or into the file uploader dialog.
Reordering attachments
You can reorder your attachments from the expanded cell view by clicking and dragging.
The lightbox view also supports reordering by clicking and dragging the thumbnails at the bottom of the screen.
Renaming attachments
To rename an attachment, click the pencil icon while in the expanded cell view or the lightbox view. The pencil icon appears in the expanded cell view when you mouse over an attachment thumbnail, and at in the bottom left of the screen while in lightbox view.
Removing attachments
To remove an attachment, use the trash bin icon while in the expanded cell view or the lightbox view. The trash bin icon appears in the expanded cell view when you mouse over an attachment thumbnail, and at in the bottom left of the screen while in lightbox view.
