Hi all, we had developed a nice data base application, but sometime users have limited access to internet, I’m trying to work around this challenge, so one of the Ideas are:

 

Question:

Can the final users in the field download the Airtable application on their Tablets and work on the database offline since there is poor or no connectivity at the sites. Then, when they are back in the office can they sync it to the main cloud-based database

 

Ideas: 

  1. Download the portion of the DB into CSV to the local PC, then updates offline and then upload it back to the DB, however and afraid the users enter wrong information or get confused by the layout. 
  2. Install or add an extension to the DB but I don’t know which could be to let the users work offline. 

I will appreciate your ideas and thoughts …

Hey ​@Perni!

Given Airtables collaborative nature, where multiple records could get updated by multiple people during such time this seems to be a tough one… however I’d love to see an offline version of it (with such limitations).
