PURPOSE
In a Backend Action you can:
- attach file to a Thing (effectively applying privacy rules to the file URL so that only users with Authorization can access)
- Rename the file
ISNT THERE ALREADY A PLUGIN THAT DOES THIS?
Yes, this one here:
https://bubble.io/plugin/file-uploader-bubble-api-1628816507621x527883429883936800YES BUT WITH THE NEW ONE (BFU) COME
TWO MAIN IMPROVEMENTS:
- The reason why I built the Plugin: Bigger files can be processed. Old Plugin, max ca. 6MB, new Plugin max 49 MB
- The BFU is more efficient as it directly pipes the Binary Data into the upload Endpoint of Bubble. The 'old' Plugin loaded the whole Input file into memory, base64 encoded it and reuploaded the Base64 string to the Bubble API.
==> Therefore BFU should use less Workload Units than the 'old' Plugin
