Upload files using umbraco data type

Question

I want to create a custom data type or better reuse an existing one that allows me to upload a file (pdfs or images) on a specific folder (in an Umbraco 7 site) not related to media folder. Any ideas on how to do this?

Answer 1

You'll want to create a new property editor (Tutorial) to create the view of the datatype and let the angular code call a UmbracoAuthorizedApiController (Documentation) to do the uploading of the file
