File storage in a Convex app is managed through built-in storage APIs that handle uploading files to server-side storage. You can retrieve auto-generated URLs to serve the files and save database references to track the uploads.

Convex storage tracks file metadata by reading details from the built-in storage system table. You can query this system table to access file information and maintain references to the uploads in your own application database tables.

Yes, Convex automatically generates URLs for uploaded files, allowing you to serve images, documents, and generated assets directly. These URLs provide access to the files stored within your Convex-based projects.

The best way to delete files in Convex is to use server mutations that remove the file from storage and clean up the corresponding database records. This ensures both the stored file and its metadata reference are fully deleted.

To secure file uploads in Convex, you need to implement access controls using server mutations. This ensures that only authorized users can upload, serve, or delete files and interact with the storage APIs.
