# Method name: generateFileUploadUrl(mimeType: string, options: GenerateFileUploadUrlOptions)

# Method package: wixMediaV2

# Method menu location: wixMediaV2 --> files --> generateFileUploadUrl

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-media-v2/files/generate-file-upload-url.md

# Method Description:

Generates an upload URL to allow external clients to upload a file to the Media Manager. <br/>

To learn how external clients can use the generated upload URL in the response to upload a file to the Media Manager, see Upload API ([SDK](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/backend-modules/media/files/upload-api.md) | [REST](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/assets/media/media-manager/files/upload-api.md)).
> **Notes:**
> - When you upload a file, it's not immediately available, meaning you can't manage or use the file straight away. Learn more about knowing when a file is ready ([SDK](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/backend-modules/media/files/importing-files.md#backend-modules_media_files_knowing-when-a-file-is-ready) | [REST](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/assets/media/media-manager/files/importing-files.md#knowing-when-a-file-is-ready)).
> - Any interruption in the upload process stops the file upload. For files larger than 10MB, or when network connection is poor, call Generate File Resumable Upload URL instead. With the resumable upload URL, any interruption in the upload process pauses the file upload, and resumes the file upload process after the interruption.
