Bulk Download Inserted Images

Scott M

Hi,

Is there a way to bulk download all images that you have inserted in a given sheet or column?

There is the action for downloading all attachments, but these images are inserted instead of attached. I can't see a way to do this. There are 300 images so downloading one by one isn't really an option.

Many thanks

Scott

Hi Scott,

If you're a licensed user you can Request a Backup (see here for more information). To do this, right-click on the item's name and select the option from the drop-down menu. This backup would include a folder with all of the images inserted into your grid.

Make sure that you select the option that says "Include Attachments":

Let me know if you have any questions about this!

Cheers,

Genevieve

You have saved me so much time. Thanks

Hi All,

I'm very happy that I found this discussion because I'm having the same question! This is so helpful!

On top of using Request Backup to download the entire sheet including the inserted images, I'm also wondering if there is any way that I can download/backup the inserted images for specific range? (for example, if I only need the inserted images from row 10 to row 78)

Thanks,

Madeline

Hi @lioum

There currently isn't a way to do a partial backup just of a specific range of rows (please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a minute so our Product team can hear your feedback!).

You would need to do an entire backup, then remove the images that aren't needed. You could also create a Copy of the sheet, delete the rows that aren't needed, then create a backup of this copied version to download only specific images, if that helps.

Cheers,

Genevieve

Hi @GeethikaVarsha Kantamneni

Thank you for your idea of working around it. I'll try it and will also submit a request for the additional backup function!

Thank you,

Hi,

I will need to do this, but have a question, if after backing up I need to import the backup to another database, how are the downloaded pictures correlated to the row they were in?

Hi @lucreze

The attachments that are exported as part of the Backup process do not have an indication of what row they were originally associated with.

Please submit your feature request to have row numbers with the Attachment name to the Product team by creating an Idea Post in the Smartsheet Product Feedback and Ideas topic here in the Community. This will allow other users to vote on your enhancement idea!

Cheers,

Genevieve
