Hi Everyone! For those of you who’ve wanted to work with files in Postman, including uploading, downloading and visualizing files, I’ve made a video on just that, with a Postman Template! Visualizing files gets a little complicated in Postman, but you can make the HTML in Postman and visualize the…

Hi do you have a nother video that show how to upload multiple files instead of uploading 1 file? Thanks,

Hi @RSAL , Welcome to the community :clap: So in the first part of the video where I talk about uploading, you can select multiple files by using the shift key, as you normally would in Finder or File Explorer, which should then upload the selected files. Let me know if this makes sense! Best, O…

Hi thanks for you reply , when I select 2 files it returns 1 base64 response? so for example if I want to send a front and a back of an image and select both of them will it return a base 64 for both of them? Thanks

Hi @RSAL,
