Frequently Asked Questions about convex-file-storage

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle file uploads in a Convex application?▼

File uploads in Convex are handled by generating secure upload URLs on the server, sending the file from the client, and then saving the storage reference in a database mutation. This process supports images and documents.

What is the best way to store and retrieve file metadata using Convex?▼

Storing and retrieving file metadata in Convex involves saving file references in your database records and querying the Convex `_storage` system table. This integration links the stored file with its corresponding metadata for retrieval.

How do I generate a secure upload URL for cloud storage in Convex?▼

Generating a secure upload URL for cloud storage in Convex uses a server-side query to produce a temporary endpoint. The client uploads the file directly to this URL, after which a mutation saves the file reference.

Does Convex support deleting files and cleaning up database records?▼

Yes, Convex supports deleting files by executing a mutation that removes the physical file from the `_storage` system table and its associated metadata record from the database, ensuring proper cleanup.

Can I use this approach to manage user profile picture uploads and display?▼

Yes, you can manage profile picture uploads by uploading the file, generating a direct URL for display, and saving the metadata in the user's profile. This creates a complete upload and serving workflow.
