Parse Server - Where does it store uploaded files

I am new to Parse Server (implementing it on Heroku and locally).

I have a basic question, when I upload a file using the ParseFile class, it provides me a URL and a fileobject. Where is this File being stored?

Is it being stored physically on a file system? Or in Mongodb?

Thank you!

Solution

  • I found a collection in Mongodb named fs.files. The files I uploaded were located there. I assume the Parse URL is generated as a redirect.
