Visualizing Saved File Data in Bubble.io

Introduction

Once records are created in your Bubble.io database, you can display them on your application's interface using elements such as Repeating Groups or Lists.


Displaying Data Using a Repeating Group

1. Add a Repeating Group

  • Content Type: Set to GoogleDriveFile.

  • Data Source: Use a search for GoogleDriveFiles.

2. Configure the Repeating Group Cells

Example Cell Setup:

  • Text Element:

    • Display the file name.

  • Image Element (for thumbnails):

    • Display the thumbnail_url (if applicable).

  • Download Link:

    • Create a button or link that uses the url field for file downloads.

3. Example Visualization of the Repeating Group
