:slight_smile: If you aren't sure what my advice mean, better keep your way of coding for now.
Would be enough to concatenate file name to the folder path. Transform everything in your code which seems:
dbx.filesUpload({path: '/' + fileName, contents: file})
To something like:
dbx.filesUpload({path: '/' + folderName + '/' + fileName, contents: file})
Seems you just forgot it. :wink:
Hope this helps.

Different users will upload files from the form, so I need it to go on different folders to distinguish properly.
Can you please help me how to get the ID, and add it in the path , I tried adding the folder name in path, but it gave error
