   Please help me! Im running out of time! the apps is one of the requirement to pass and graduate. Thank you in advance!

Hi -

We are suggesting to pass our tutorials first to better understand the platform:
:: http://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials/...

In database you always have a predefined collection 'Files', for more information please take a look here: http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...

and here is more information how to upload and work with uploaded data: http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...

Thank you for fast reply..

i already read it but not really clear. To upload file via UI, can i just use file_upload service then store local storage.in response, i link the data from local storage to the "assFile" in other collection. Can i?

Hello,

Here is a common way of using Files collection:

1. Upload file to Files db collection.
   Here is tutorial about how to do it: http://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials/...

2. Get URL to this uploaded file.

3. Store this file URL to collection you need.

4. Now you can get URL from this collection(3rd step). And use this URL as you need. For example if it image - use as image asset.

   So in this way - you upload file to Files collection and then store access information about this file in other collection you need.

   Regards.

Hi Yurrii

Your point no 2. How do you get the URL??

The Upload Service does not have a response like the camera service, which allows you to get the URL at time of upload?

Hi Deon,

Sorry for this delay,

You should add following response parameters(see screen shot):

Also you can do it automatically:
1 Upload file
2 Find request in browser debugger network tab
3 Copy actual service response.
4 Past this actual response in the service "test" tab.
5 Click "Import as response".
