I think it would be great to be able to update the names of files once theyโ€™re uploaded; this is especially needed when linking images or files from online instead of uploading since you have no control on the naming structure for those external files. Iโ€™ve recently found that searching a base includes whatโ€™s in the filename and this is becoming problematic since I often link to images on the web that have a lot of text in the filename that I would prefer not to be there.

I think the ability to edit properties of uploaded files once theyโ€™re in the base would be a huge help.

If you would like to rename attachments while downloading them locally (not in Airtable), weโ€™ve built a tool that allows you to download all attachments in bulk and it gives you the option to rename each file after one of your fields.

I know this is an old issue, but was facing it too recently and noticed that there wasnโ€™t a proper solution for renaming multiple attachments in Airtable. So I created a (paid) extension for that, ZekTec - Airtable Extensions, hope this can help anyone that is facing this in the future :slightly_smiling_face:
