What is working right now is i can upload to the root folder of a library using the code below :

 myDropzone.options.url = `${_context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl}/_api/web/Lists/getById('${_parent.props.listName}')/rootfolder/files/add(overwrite=true,url='${file.name}')`;

What i want is to be able to send the files to a specific folder. i have tried using the below code but i get 404 error.

 myDropzone.options.url = `${_context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl}/_api/web/Lists/getById('${_parent.props.listName}')/folders/folder1/files/add(overwrite=true,url='${file.name}')`;   




myDropzone.options.url = `${_context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl}/_api/web/Lists/getById('${_parent.props.listName}')/rootfolder/folders/folder1/files/add(overwrite=true,url='${file.name}')`;

I tested below endpoint in fiddler, it works fine.

Correct your endpoint as folders('folder1').

/sites/Developer/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('MyDoc4')/RootFolder/folders('SubFolder')/files/add(url='test.txt',overwrite=true)

    Use /_api/web/lists/getByTitle('MyDoc4')/RootFolder/folders('SubFolder')/folders('F')/files/add()

  • i am getting the path dynamically,is there any other solution where i can just inject "folder1/subfolder2/subfolder3/..." . The code above is a static way if you know the exact subfolder numbers

I will suggest to use GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl() like this

https://<site url>/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('Documents/test folder1/folder inside test folder/folder3')/files/add(url='test.txt',overwrite=true)
