Does anyone know how to create an app to allow external users to upload ANY TYPE of data to a specific place :) ?

Can be on flow or on our computer :)

I can only find solutions for data of certain type or to be an input into an pre existing file.

Hi ​@liljabp,

Before proceeding, please note this can present a significant security risk (see this page by OWASP for more info). Ensure allowing unrestricted file uploads is safe in your environment.

That being said, this is possible using a workspace app made from a workspace using a File/Folder/URL User Parameter and an HTTPCaller. The HTTPCaller should be configured as follows:

Here I’ve opted to have the user upload to a directory within Resources/Data, but this can be changed by specifying a different connection in the URL. It’s also possible to create a new Resource Connection.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this! I’d be happy to go into more detail if required.
