Overview

The Media library is a single place to manage every file your workspace has stored: images, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, audio, video, and more. Each file is listed with its type, MIME type, size, who uploaded it, the record it’s attached to (if any), and when it was created.

​
How it works

Files in Custral are stored as resources backed by secure cloud storage. When you open the Media library, each file’s download link is a freshly signed, time-limited URL rather than a permanent public link. Files can be standalone or attached to a record, for example an image dropped into a record’s file field. The library exposes two tabs:
  • All Media: every resource in the workspace.
  • Record Files: only resources linked to a record, with the record name shown so you can see where each file is used.
Uploads are validated against a global list of supported file types, and total storage counts against your plan’s storage limit.

​
Using it

1

Open Media

Go to Settings → Media. The All Media tab lists every file; switch to Record Files to see only files attached to records.
2

Filter and sort

Use the filter bar above the table to narrow by name, type, size, uploader, record, or date, and to sort the list.
3

Open or download a file

Click the Download action on a row to open the file in a new tab. Audio files also show a Play action.
4

Delete a file

Click the Delete (trash) action and confirm. The file is removed from the workspace.
Deleting a file is permanent. If the file was attached to a record, that attachment will no longer resolve.
The Media library is for browsing and managing files that already exist. Files get added through the places you use them, for example, a record’s file field or an AI image auto-fill. Rather than uploaded directly here.

Troubleshooting

When reporting an issue, include the request id shown in the error toast. It links the in-app error to the server logs.
