Streamlit Sharing - Fileupload, where does it go?

[randyzwitch]

Hi @Joe_Pawlowski -

When you upload a file using file_uploader, the data is written to RAM. It will persist in memory for a while (depending on the cache settings), but it will never persist on disk unless you choose to do that yourself.

How to process .apk file uploaded using fileuploader?

Hi @allenpbiju, welcome to the Streamlit community! st.file_uploader returns a BytesIO object, which is a buffer, which isn’t one of the types that function accepts (as the error message indicates). To get the bytes from a BytesIO object, you need to read the buffer: a = APK(uploaded_apk.read())

Best,
Randy
