Take our 5 minute survey.
Direct Upload to Azure
The FileUploader widget supports direct-upload to blob storages. This demo illustrates how to configure the uploadChunk option to upload a large file directly to Azure Blob Storage without using a user's web server. All APIs that implement access to Azure Blob Storage on the client are stored in the azure-file-system.js file.
To implement file upload logic, use the uploadChunk option to specify how to process a connection request to the storage.
Feel free to share demo-related thoughts here.
If you have technical questions, please create a support ticket in the DevExpress Support Center.
