Create File or Folder

Create File or Folder API allows you to upload files to ClickHelp Storage.

Available Upload Methods

ClickHelp provides three file upload methods, each optimized for different scenarios:

Method Max File Size Best For Key Characteristics
Base64 Upload 10 MB Small files (<5 MB)
  • Single request
  • Base64-encoded JSON body
  • 33% data overhead
Multipart/Form-Data Upload 10 MB Standard uploads (≤10 MB)
  • Single request
  • No data overhead
  • Simple implementation
Resumable Upload 1 GB Large files or unreliable connections
  • Chunked transfer
  • Resume capability
  • Progress tracking
  • Complex client-side logic

Choose the appropriate method based on your requirements:

  • For small files and simple implementations: Use Base64 Upload when working with JavaScript clients or when simplicity is prioritized.
  • For reliable uploads up to 10 MB: Use Multipart/Form-Data Upload for standard HTTP file uploads without Base64 overhead.
  • For large files or critical data: Use Resumable Upload when uploading files larger than 10 MB, or when operating over unreliable network connections that may require resume capability.
