Upload Image File to Server

Ad 1) remove the multipart header, it gets overwritten by your 2nd definition of the Content-Type and therefore works correctly

Ad 2) remove the header completely, see @TIMAI2 's example

Ad 3) your image is in shared storage and NOT in ASD... use the correct path to copy it

@lladam

yes, I tested TaifunFile1.CopyAsync from: FileScope: Shared + /Pictures/Telegram/IMG_20250715232624_409.jpg ; to FileScope: Shared + /Download/dog.jpg
didn;t copy.

The file extension does not care about any scope
It needs a correct absolute path

From
file:///storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Telegram/IMG_20250715232624_409.jpg

To
file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/dog.jpg

Also make sure, dog.jpg does not already exist in that directory before copying

Thank you.

1. its true need to remove the header, I tested with any type of header or without header don't have
   any Influence;

2. I used the block below to do copy failed, anything wrong?

I have tested to make copy with TaifunFile1.CopyAsync inside APP works well. any way to copy files out side APP?

[TIMAI2]

@lladam

any way to copy files out side APP?

Use a decent file manager, like Total Commander. Should just work on Android 5.x. If not, supplement it with Googles Files.

@lladam

anything wrong?

Yes, just use the path directly

@lladam

any way to copy files out side APP?

The correct question would be: "Is there any way to copy a file programmatically outside of scope App" to not confuse others

Yes, see my answer above

@lladam

The File component uses a relative path (not an absolute path):
/Pictures/Telegram/...jpg

[Anke]

@Taifun

just use the path directly

Yes, but your TaifunFile extension should also work with a full path.

Again with Android 6, copy a file from the Download directory to the ASD, using the File component:

Yes, but you need (must request) READ permission on Android < 11.

[lladam]

Thanks.
do you mean this way? tested not copy:

[lladam]

thanks.
tested not work.

[lladam]

thanks.
I'll change phone

[TIMAI2]

@lladam

I'll change phone

You should see more or less the same behaviour with 5.x as I do with 6.

@lladam

tested not work.

Show your blocks.

From the documentation App Inventor Extensions: File | Pura Vida Apps

Copy file (asynchronously).
Use this method to copy large files. The copy process is finished after the Copied event fires. Prefix the filename with / (i.e. relative path) to copy a file on the SD card. For instance /myFile.txt will copy the file /mnt/sdcard/myFile.txt. To copy assets packaged with an application (also works for the Companion) start the fromFilename with // (two slashes). However you can't copy files to the assets. If a fileName starts with file:/// you can specify a complete path to the file.

Example 1 (relative parh)
From
/Pictures/Telegram/IMG_20250715232624_409.jpg

To
/Download/dog.jpg

Example 2 ( complete path)
From
file:///storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Telegram/IMG_20250715232624_409.jpg

To
file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/dog.jpg

@Taifun

make sure, dog.jpg does not already exist in that directory before copying

Taifun

[lladam]

Thanks.

one more asking, where is the location of the picture uploaded into the APP through the design page's media.Upload File?

[Taifun]

these are called the assets
the assets are read-only
if you want

@Taifun

To copy assets packaged with an application (also works for the Companion) start the fromFilename with // (two slashes). However you can't copy files to the assets.
