Hi Patricklimkc,

At the upload end you should receive either error or file metadata (on success). The metadata contains full path together with everything else. That's where you can find where every just uploaded file resides. 😉

Hope this helps.

 

PS: Keep in mind that when your application is "App Folder" type, all paths (including such returned as metadata part) are relative to the application specific folder, not to account root nor user home.
