How to add photos in bulk to a table?

[David_Laufer]

I’m new to Airtable, probably this is super basic, but… How to add photos in bulk to a table, so that each one becomes a separate record? I have a file of 100 photos, and I want to bring them into my base so that each one is a separate record that I can then add keywords and text to describe it. Thanks!

I followed your direction. When I try to load multiple images the + (lower right) turns into a message “to drop files, choose an attachment cover field” .

Not sure what that means or next steps.

Suggestions?

I tried it again (after 10 minutes) and it allowed me to do it.
Apparently airtable had to “think about and get ready for me” :slightly_smiling_face: Works like a charm, now…

The Gallery view type allows an Attachment field to set as the image, as long as it is a gallery. Of course, the message you were getting says that you hadn’t set the cover image, so Airtable does not know in which field store your uploaded images. When you got the error message, was the cover image set?
