  Sorry, I have found the bug in the meanwhile. The problem was that in development, the media files were saved to /files/media, like shown in the example.

  However, when compiled to production, the project gets compiled to dist folder, so in the end, the Payload saves media files to /dist/files/media. Silly error, but took a while to spot it.

  Thanks!

  I encountered an error when file is not written to the filesystem when it is uploaded.

  What is the error exactly?
