How is file upload URL constructed?

The url pattern for file download is as follows:

  1. “https://creatorexport.zoho.com” + zoho.appuri + “viewLinkName/fieldDelugeName/download/” + fieldDelugeName
  • zoho.appuri is the zoho variable which will provide the application details in the format, /username/applicationName.
  • viewLinkName is the View’s link name where the uploaded file has been shown. (edit the View, click on More Actions ->View properties to get the View link Name)
  • fieldDelugeName is the deluge name of the file upload field. Click here to learn more about the script name for a a field. 
If you notice the way the fieldDelugeName is used, you will see that the field name is first hard coded and then made dynamic. 


Below, we have considered file upload field as an image and constructed an expression for formula fields. 


  1.  ”<img width=’100′ src=’https://creatorexport.zoho.com” + zoho.appuri + “viewLinkName/fieldDelugeName/download/” + fieldDelugeName + “‘/>”
   If you are using private link, you have to provide the generated private key in the url. The generated private key is the last value in the Permalink. Refer to the below syntax for file download in a private link. Refer to https://kbase.creator.zoho.com/forms/how-to-generate-private-permalink-of-the-form for more info. 
  1.  ”<img
    width=’100′ src=’https://creatorexport.zoho.com” + zoho.appuri + “viewLinkName/fieldDelugeName/download/” + fieldDelugeName + “/<Private Key>’/>”
Please refer to the sample application for file download. Use More Actions ->Save as Script option to download the ds and import to your account.
