Alternative to Google Drive for CSV Media Uploads

[redline]

Hello again,

I’m trying to use CSV batch upload for ERC721 edition metadata, but I have a constraint:

The CSV guide (How do I add media to my CSV? | How can we help?) states that media links must be in Google Drive and set to public, and that personal servers/Pinata links will not work.

I use ArDrive for permanent storage of my images.

Questions:

1. Can I use ArDrive links (ar:// or https://arweave.net/) in CSV media uploads from a public folder?

2. I looked for a csv template, but did not find. I see the headers you supplied in screenshot. Can we create our own csv file?

3. Security (only if blind mints): “For blind mints, how are images protected before reveal?”

4. Is it possible to do a csv Direct Upload in Manifold UI?

My images are already uploaded to ArDrive and publicly accessible. I’d prefer to use those links rather than re-uploading to Google Drive.

Thanks.

If the ArDrive links are publicly accessible to any one (such as in an incognito window) then you can totally use their URLs in your CSV!

As for the template, if you are in the “1 OF 1 TOKEN BATCH” application (see top left of your screen while configuring) then you should be able to download the template right here where this green arrow is pointing after clicking “CSV UPLOAD”.

If you are using the “Edition Page” app to upload a CSV of metadata to do a sort of “reveal” mechanic, then the same applies but you’ll get to the dialog by clicking “UPLOAD CSV” first.
