Upload, Download and Delete Files with Big File Upload Element
File Upload
The Big File Upload element allows easy uploading of files by drag-and-drop. Users can drag and drop files directly onto the component and the file will be automatically copied to the directory you specify.
For security reasons, the file name is stored as GUID (global unique identifier).
When the upload process is complete, the On Upload Finish action is automatically triggered. At this stage, you can save the information of the uploaded file. The Component returns information about the uploaded file, such as the File ID (the GUID of the file) and the File Name (the file name). The File ID and File Name data are used for later management and processing of files.
