I want to be able to add a tag of say "user X' to a file such that i can do a listfiles and only get the files with user X tag? I'm confused how to use permission to achieve this or do I just create different buckets?
To keep tracking of your file the best workaround is to create collection that will have all the details, for example
- file_id
- user_id
- ... Then update it after each upload
I referring to files like a pdf. I thought they can only go in storage?
You always put the file inside a bucket using the storage module But if you want to track each file meta_data you will need to create an accompanied collection
ah, I see, so as I upload a file, I simultaneously update the collection?
Yes
And you can use events for that Creating a function that will get triggered on each file upload Then you can easily update the collection
Okay, I'd do so. Thanks for your advice
