I’m setting up Uppy.js (React) with the Supabase TUS server. It’s working but file ends up in the root of the storage. I want to be able to specify a folder (based on the current user id) so that all file uploads for a particular user are always into its own folder.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Supabase uses tus-node-server which does support that but it’s a server-side feature so I think you have to look at their docs to figure this out, not ours.

Found it.

It’s needed to set the right objectName within the Uppy file metadata on file added event.

```auto
.on("file-added", async (file) => {
            // Attach metadata to each file, including bucket name and content type
            file.meta = {
              ...file.meta,
              bucketName, // Bucket specified by the user of the hook
              objectName: `${someParentFolder}/${file.name}`, // Use file name as object name
              contentType: file.type, // Set content type based on file MIME type
            };

```
