File Downloads and Processing

A learning hub for serving files, listing folders, custom download UX, and image processing workflows in Wappler.

Use this hub when file workflows continue after upload. These tours cover how files are exposed back to users and to the application: serving downloads with Server Connect, building richer downloader experiences, listing files from server folders, and transforming uploaded images into sized derivatives such as thumbnails.

The goal is to keep file retrieval and processing just as intentional as file upload.

File downloads and processing

List Files from a Server Folder

List files from a server folder so pages can browse or work with server-side file collections intentionally.

Resize Image and Create Thumbnail
