File upload is a feature that enables users to upload files from their device to a designated storage location in the system. The process of uploading begins by validating user parameters and organizing files into different groups based on their type using something called a "namespace". This helps in storing the files into Public and Private buckets Private - The files stored in private bucket is accessible via getSignedUrl method for a temporary duration. Public - The files stored in public bucket is accessible via cdn url Customer initiate the upload process by selecting from pre-existing images, choosing from your device, uploading via URL, or entering an image URL. 1. Start Upload - Once seller calls start upload will receive a signed URL to initiate the upload process. 2. Utilize a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) method to upload the file through the obtained signed URL. 3. Complete File upload - Important file details such as name, size, content type, and namespace are collected and linked to maintain data integrity within the system's database. Once you upload a file, you receive a message with all the details about where your file is stored, including a secure URL for uploading files to the designated storage and a CDN (Content Delivery Network) URL for future accessibility. Furthermore, the system sets an expiration time for access links(signed Url) enhancing security measures.
