Saving Binary Data (Files)

You can also save binary data (Files) like audio/video/images/txt etc. on the App42 cloud using the File Upload Service. Whenever your app file is uploaded it is stored on our CDN network and can be accessed by its unique http end point URL.

You can save any binary file to App42 Cloud with a few lines of code as shown below. File name will be used to uniquely refer to the uploaded file. Once your file is uploaded, you will get an http end point for this file that you can use in your app for fetching it from the App42 CDN network.
