Hi
I’m trying to modify the default .public folder path for media library uploads, i followed the tutorial and set up a application.json file which looked like this

 {
	"public": {
	  "path": "./site",
	  "maxAge": 60000
	}
 }

inside config folder, but when i try to upload a file it keeps looking for .public folder.
Am I doing something wrong?

thanks in advance

Kathy, what’s your specialty? I am a college student in management. In any business, the human resources department plays a key role. That is why I decided to study HR. But I work a lot after college and need help writing an hr assignments. I need more than just a writer’s service here. This item is very specific. I want qualified specialists to deal with my issue.

I’m migrating my strapi v3 to v4. we are starting with media library.

In v3 we were using custom upload.ts plugin which now a core feature of strapi, can someone please let me know what steps to follow and what are necessary changes required for the migrations?

do we need to migrate db also for media library?
what are the changes in upload.ts and plugin.ts?
