convex-file-storage

To handle file uploads and storage in a Convex backend, you use pre-built integration patterns for client-side uploads, generating files via actions, and serving public URLs. This eliminates the need to write custom storage logic and boilerplate code.

The best way to serve static assets like images and PDFs using Convex is to utilize native storage integration patterns that provide public URLs for uploaded files. This approach supports reliable serving workflows and allows quick implementation of features like image previews.

Yes, you can store files generated by Convex actions and track their metadata. The implementation supports accessing file metadata directly from Convex system tables, ensuring proper validation and tracking for server-generated content.

Yes, Convex file storage workflows support secure deletion of orphaned files. The implementation includes proper file validation, metadata tracking, and management capabilities to ensure reliable deletion across the full file lifecycle.

To add user-generated content uploads to a React and Convex application, apply ready-to-use client-side upload patterns with persistent storage. This provides full lifecycle support for all file types, including images and PDFs, without building custom infrastructure.
