Super noob question - but can I have my supabase bucket as a data source? I want to display files that a user has uploaded to a supabase bucket.

Is the only way to display the files by storing the URLs to the files in an array or can I use the dynamic connection from the supabase plugin?

Thank you!

this is probably the most convenient for record keeping purposes, but no. even data objects are subject to RLS, so you _could_ get away with just setting rules on your DB to only let the user see his/her/their files

Is it relevant to do as for users, i.e. to replicate in a public table the uploaded files in the bucket, in order to bind them to a collection and display them?
