votes

I am creating an SAPUI5 WebApp with an file upload function. I try this example from SAPUi5 Explored: sap.m.sample.UploadCollection

I try with my trial account in SAP WebIDE to set the upload function ( Upload Collection)

The issue is, not allowing to upload a file in the project folder or local desktop folder.

Upload Collection

If I upload a file it appears but i can't open it and I get a 405 HTTP error.

Any Ideas, what the problem is?

like you see already in your posts comments, you need a backend for this task. The UploadCollection control is only usable with a backend in the background which receives the transmitted file from the control.

On the page https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.m.UploadCollection you see

This control allows you to upload single or multiple files from your devices (desktop, tablet or phone) and attach them to the application while you can replace "application" with "receiving backend"

Indipendent of this may I allowed to ask where do you think the file should be uploaded when not to a backend system? I mean when you choose a file from your local storage it doesn't make any sense to upload it again to your local storage?!
