# Multi File Field

The Multi File field works and behaves almost identically to the [File Field](/blocworx-documentation/bloc-editor/fields-tools-and-charts/file-and-image-fields/file-field.md), but with some exceptions:

1. You can upload multiple files in one in field.
2. It is not possible to use the webcam.
3. The files get uploaded using a button devoted to that field, as opposed to being uploaded when you submit the form.

{% hint style="success" %}
Hint: The File Field is more useful when you may expect to just have one file or image for every form submission, or if you have several images in their own respective fields.\
\
The Multi File however is better for when you want to upload a number of files under the same column/field in a form.

{% hint style="success" %}
Hint: On a mobile device, you can use this to take photos and save them on the fly in your Bloc.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://manual.blocworx.com/blocworx-documentation/bloc-editor/fields-tools-and-charts/file-and-image-fields/multi-file-field.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
