Hi,
I am saving audio file into the cloudDB.
Later, I want to copy the file in to my computer.
In order to do so, I want to first save the file locally to the phone.
I read the file from the cloud and can play it.
How do I save the file to my phone memory?
Tnx!
Where does the audio file come from in the first place ?
From the appinventor recorder.

The audio file should already be saved to your device, you need to get the filename and path when you create it.
The default path of the SoundRecorder is:
/storage/emulated/0/My Documents/Recordings/app_inventor_1587821487524.3gp
To set your own path, try e.g. this path:
This will not work since we are a group that record birds in the field. So the app will save files from different cell phones.
Later on, we want to move all the records to one computer.
So. we manage to save the files on the cloud.
We can retrieve and listen to the files, but I do not know how to save all the files again, locally.
Thank you for that useful additional information.
Are you running your own redis server?
If so, who ever controls this could use the redis cli program to download all the files to a computer.
If you are using the MIT provided default redis server for the cloudDB component, this is not the best place to store data/binary files for production purposes, the data may not always be there or be available.
Do you want every user to be able to download all the files to their device ?
Do you want to do it in a batch (download all files at once), or just one by one as they listen to a file ?
I am using the MIT default server.
We are many users who save files, and only one person, take the data at the end of a week to his own data base.
Establish a server is too complicated for me…
Is it possible to send the files to google or google drive somehow?
Thank you, but:
What do I do with the WEB APP SCRIPT? Is it part of the MIT app invertor?
No, it is part of the googlesphere.
What do you mean by what do you do with it?
In this case one would:
Open google drive
File > New > Google Apps Script (you may need to add this is not present)
Name the script
Add the code, change script to your folder ID
Publish and get the url
Test
Also for everytime with the script:
1 Open the script project
2 Go to Publish
3 Deploy as Web App
4 Project version: - select New from the dropdown
5 Execute the app as: your google account address (email)
6 Who has access to the app: Anyone, even anonymous
7 Press the Update button
You have to do this EVERY TIME you change your script
Tnx for the detailed response!
I managed to publish in the google drive.
I am trying to program the blocks in the App invertor, but I can’t find: “call KIOS_Base641 getmimetype”
As shown in https://ai2.metricrat.co.uk/guides/upload-any-file-to-google-drive-with-ai2
Can you support?
Tnx!
