How can I set a folder for files uploaded via ShareX? Thanks!

You can build the project simply with just 1 file edit. To get a simplified version of this feature, open /src/pages/api/upload.ts

Add the following code right below line 79: "if (fileMaxViews < 0) return res.badRequest('invalid max views (max views < 0)');"

const folderId = req.headers['folder-id'] ? parseInt(req.headers['folder-id'] as string, 10) : null;

if (folderId) {
  const userFolder = await prisma.folder.findFirst({
    where: {
      id: folderId,
      userId: user.id,
    },
  });

  if (!userFolder) {
    return res.forbidden('Folder does not belong to the user');
  }
}

Change in line 254: add folderId: folderId

const fileUpload = await prisma.file.create({
  data: {
    name: `${fileName}${compressionUsed ? '.jpg' : `${ext ? '.' : ''}${ext}`}`,
    mimetype: req.headers.uploadtext ? 'text/plain' : compressionUsed ? 'image/jpeg' : mimetype,
    userId: user.id,
    folderId: folderId,
    embed: !!req.headers.embed,
    password,
    expiresAt: expiry,
    maxViews: fileMaxViews,
    originalName: req.headers['original-name'] ? decodedName ?? null : null,
    size: file.size,
  },
});

After these changes, you can upload files to a folder by simply adding the folder-id header to the request. To do this, open ShareX custom uploader settings and add the folder-id header to your zipline custom uploader with the value of the folder ID you want to upload to.

I won't be adding this in v3, but it exists in v4 so please be patient and wait for v4's release in the near future for this feature.
