I want to know how we can download or access a file from the data storage in Backendless. I see how to upload and how to delete, but not how to get them.
My problem is we will need that users upload photos to the server and then when you connect to the app you will see that photos, but we need some way to access them to show the photos on the mobile app! Is it something that is restricted in Backendless?
Hi, yes. That’s what I thought but I had a “senior moment” and didn’t find the way. I checked it uploading a file and seeing the url that appears on the navigator when I open the image.
For other users that may have this question I type here the url format for accessing files:
http://backendless.com/console/appversion/{APP_ID}/files/download/{path_of_the_image}
To get the file you use a plain HTTP GET for the file URL.
Does it answer the question?

this path doesn’t work for android.
Below one will work
https://develop.backendless.com/console/app id/appversion/5ABCC519-94A5-2CCB-FFBA-11F90089D100/tpkdvultxigveqytmbhkmbcdgawqhhsfhldg/files/view/path of image/(name of image)%3Foverwrite%3Dfalse
But this is also temporary. It works fine for a small period of time. But after some time the portion after appversion keeps on changing automatically. I guess this may be due to backendless.
Please someone suggest how to download an image stored in files in backendless to an android application.
Thank you
