Hello,

I would import the epicollect database and the pictures included in the entries. the import of the CSV file is very easy but I can’t find the procedure for picture download.

How do you proceed?

Thank you

Hello, it would be very helpful to have the option of massive DOWNLOAD of multimedia data such as images and videos, in a private project. We hope that soon they will be able to develop this option to be available in our forms, as it is an extremely necessary tool for many users. Thank you very much for your development and your great work.

Hi,

thanks for your feedback.

For the time being, if you are into coding, you could use our API to get the media files programmatically: [Get Media - Epicollect5 Data Collection API](https://developers.epicollect.net/media/get-media)
