How to solve the problem of duplicate file IDs.

[mdxiaohu]

I use the onBeforeFileAdded method to observe data changes.
When data A uploads file B, there is a piece of data in files.
{key: fileA}
When data B uploads file B, under the observation of the debugger, the initial data for files is still
{key: fileA}
Later on, it became
{key: fileB}
Because the file IDs are the same

I'm not sure if it's possible to directly modify the value of currentFile.id in the onBeforeFileAdded method to avoid ID conflicts.
However, considering that I am using TUS for uploading large files, which may affect the breakpoint continuation function, I did not modify the ID value here.

for example: onBeforeFileAdded: (currentFile, files) => {currentFile.id = newid}

At present, I am directly modifying the value of ID in the onBeforeFileAdded method, which does not seem to affect subsequent functionality. I will use this method for now to solve the problem.

If I understand correctly, you want the same file to be uploaded to two different destinations?

Thank you for your reply. You can understand it this way.
The main issue is duplicate file IDs.
My current solution is to reassign the generated file ID value before uploading using the onBeforeFileAdded method.

Currently, there is no issue with duplicate IDs as mentioned above.
Because I used the following code.

onBeforeFileAdded: (currentFile, files) => {
    currentFile.id = `${currentFile.id}-${currentFile.source}`
}

I modified the value of the generated ID to avoid replacing the previous file with the later one when uploading the same file.

I think this problem should be solved on the backend. Depending on which tus server you use, there are hooks/events you could use to move the file to a different storage location. This is not something we support on the client, although you could hack it in there as you've tried.

Can you try to do this with your tus server?
