How can I import records without using FileMaker Pro?

[Megalo]

Hi, Forum!

What if you want to import csv or xls file to your FileMaker Go, what would you do?

Do you always need to plug it into PC everytime when you need to transfer the file?

Does Filemaker Go have to be online with Wi-FI, and able to connect to the file that you import records from?

Can't you import those records(csv or xls) via email attached?

If it's stored at certain directory in iPad, and being named as particular name.

If you guys have any good idea to import records to FileMaker Go without using FileMaker Pro.

Please share the brilliant idea!!

FM Go 11 cannot import data from files. (Imports between FileMaker databases is supported.)

You could import the data into a file running on a PC in FMP and import from the FMP file.

Thanks for reply

awww, I was going to create fmp12 file, and provide it to everyone who has FileMaker Go.

Then they can import their own data into FM Go and use it on iPad without purchasing FileMaker Pro on their own.

Is there any way to solve this problem???

Probably No???

FileMaker will never add this function in the future so that people always need to buy FM Pro to import data, right???

Who knows what FMI will do in the future.

Who'd have thought that FMI would have made FM Go 12 free from the App Store?

That's true.

I hope that they'll build FileMaker Store, in which we can sell our own FileMaker Database to the end user.

Don't you think that it'll be awesome for both developer and FMI to earn extra money.

In addition, end-users(iPad) never need to pay until they liked it! because of Free FM Go 12!
