Is it possible to have multiple select a file fields when using the cloudStorage plugin?

  A common way of doing this is to have a two collections: one for your uploads, and another for the documents that use them.

  
  

  
  

  So you could have a

  Media

  collection for uploads, and a

  Candy

  collection for the candies, and then add fields on the

  Candy

  collection that relate to your

  Media

  collection.

  
  

  
  

  Your

  Candy

  collection would look something like this:

  
  

  export const Candy = {
    slug: "candy",
    fields: [
      // Other fields here...
      {
        name: 'images',
        type: 'array',
        label: 'Images',
        fields: [
          {
            name: "candyImage",
            label: "Image",
            type: "upload",
            relationTo: "media",
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  };

  that is so awesome! ok, so then if I were to have another collection like

  Store

  where I want to also upload files is the best practice to use the same

  Media

  collection?

  Yup, you can totally do it that way. Most people just use one, but you can also create multiple upload-enabled collections.

  
  

  
  

  If for whatever reason you wanted to do more than one, you would just want to make sure you add it to the cloudStorage plugin config.
