Upload Process

Dovetail Seeker uploading files is a two step process. First get permission to upload, then have the user directly upload the file to Dovetail Seeker.

The application will first call the private File Upload Token API to create an upload token which will be given to the application user along with the URL where they should upload the file. The upload token grants permission to someone on the Internet to upload a single file into Dovetail Seeker.

The user then directly uploads the file to Dovetail Seeker via the proxied Direct Upload API.
