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

To handle file uploads in a Convex backend, you generate secure upload URLs for client-side POST requests, save the file metadata to your database, and serve the stored files through generated links.

What is the best way to store file metadata in Convex alongside the actual file?▼

Storing file metadata in Convex involves saving the file name, type, and size to the database after the upload, ensuring your application can retrieve and manage file information directly alongside the stored content.

Can I use Convex actions to store generated files like PDFs and images?▼

Yes, Convex actions can integrate with file storage to save generated content, allowing you to programmatically store files like generated reports or processed images directly into your Convex cloud storage.

Does Convex file storage support deleting files from both the database and storage?▼

Yes, Convex file storage supports deleting files by removing the stored binary object from cloud storage and deleting the corresponding file metadata record from the database simultaneously.

How do I securely upload files from a client to a Convex backend?▼

Securely uploading files to a Convex backend requires the server to generate a secure, temporary upload URL, which the client then uses to upload the file directly via a POST request without exposing backend credentials.
