  Folders should be in web project, yes. Web project can get absolute path using

  HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Documents");

  You can use this code to set path to a static property defined in application project. Then you can use this property whenever you need.

  I suggest to use dependency injection (create a class, register to DI, resolve it in web module's postinitialize and set folder paths. then inject it anywhere you need) instead of statics but both works.

  Hi Ibrahim, Thanks again for your advice. Now I have got another question: I am using [https://github.com/danialfarid/ng-file-upload]) to upload files via Angular. I am using the code below to send userId as a form data multipart along with the uploaded file to create a folder as per its value and then save the uploaded file:

  file.upload = Upload.upload({
        url: '/api/File/Upload',
        data: {userId: appSession.user.id, file: file}
      });
  

  For the whole past day I have been struggling to fetch the form-data and get the posted userId so I could create a folder prior saving the file. Do you have any advice on:

  1. Am I doing the right thing? I mean, do I really need to pass the userId along with the file or I could retrieve it in the WebApi project side somehow?!
  2. I have just come across this parser [https://github.com/Vodurden/Http-Multipart-Data-Parser]) which would let to parse the form-data request (have not tried that though as yet!)
  3. Is there a such parser within the ABP Framework so I could use rather using the above parser?

  I really appreciate your advice and thanks in advance... ;)
