It seems that filepicker.io has gone defunct, and is no longer a viable option for an in-app file-selection API. @Airtable, please update your file-selection to use a more updated API, device native API’s, or else a custom solution that meets users needs on Android and iOS (and the upcoming iPadOS).
It’s now basically impossible to upload a PDF (as a PDF) to a record’s Attachment field in Airtable on an iOS device, which is pretty frustrating.
I agree the mobile file upload experience could be improved.
I’m an Android user, and I use Airtable to track my apartment hunt. I take photos of each place I visit, but its a headache adding them to my base on mobile because you have to add them one by one.
I’d like to see the improvements asked for by @Jeremy_Oglesby, in addition to bulk file upload for all mobile app users.
Totally agree. This shouldn’t have to be a feature request. Unfathomable that Airtable doesn’t have access to the file app.
There should be an option to upload videos from mobile. File renaming settings should be available.
Woohoo

Thank you, @Airtable !
iOS users can now upload local PDF’s and other file types from the Files app.
@Jeremy_Oglesby I know your request was specifically for IOS, but this doesn’t appear to be a feature in Android yet. Its only half a solution.
@Airtable any plans on adding the feature to Android? Non-IOS users always seem to play second-fiddle when it comes to mobile app updates.
