Upload Media

Upload media files such as images and documents to the Daakey platform. This endpoint handles file uploads for various purposes including vehicle photos, damage documentation, announcements, and user avatars.

The upload system supports:

• Image Optimization: Uploaded images are automatically optimized for web delivery
• Collection Organization: Files are organized by collection type (vehicles, damages, avatars, etc.)
• Model Association: Files can be attached directly to specific records (vehicles, damages, etc.)
• Secure Storage: Files are stored securely with unique generated filenames

Each collection has specific file type and size restrictions to ensure optimal performance and appropriate content. See the "Supported File Types" section below for details.
