Hi there. I've been searching around for a solution and can't seem to find the problem.

So what I want is pretty simple. I have a form and I want to upload a file to either a custom folder or a /media folder (i'm ok with both solutions, just want the file to be there).

I call a Service to send an email and then add information to umbraco. At the moment I have the following:

    public void InsertItem(ApplicationsModelView item)
    {
        var groups = _contentService.GetRootContent().Where(x => x.ContentType.Alias == "home");
        var group = groups.First(x => x.Name == "Teste Folder");

        var applications = _contentService.GetDescendants(group.Id)
                        .Where(s => s.ContentType.Alias.Equals("applications", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).FirstOrDefault();

        var content = _contentService.CreateContent(Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), applications.Id, "applicationsItem");

        // Umbraco File Host
        byte[] tempByte = Convert.FromBase64String(item.Curriculum);

        //var imagesFolder = _mediaService.GetRootMedia().FirstOrDefault(m => m.Name.InvariantEquals("CVS")); --> this is optional - just wanted a better organization

        var mediaFile = _mediaServiceContext.CreateMedia(item.cvExtension, -1, Constants.Conventions.MediaTypes.File);
        Stream fileStream = new MemoryStream(tempByte);

        var fileName = "item.FullName + "-" + Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(item.cvExtension);
        // var filePath = "/Umbraco/CVS/" + fileName + Path.GetExtension(item.cvExtension); --> testing if I could add the path for the file...ignore this!
        mediaFile.SetValue("curriculum", fileName, fileStream);
        _mediaService.Save(mediaFile);
        _mediaServiceContext.Save(mediaFile);

        content.SetValue("fullName", item.FullName);
        //content.SetValue("curriculum", filePath);

        _contentService.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(content);
    }

In order to give more insight, I have an item with the Document Type under. All files are getting there correctly appart from the file ("Curriculum")

From what I've understand the File "container" is created but the file isn't stored to the umbraco media folder. I don't understand what is wrong and how I should go about it.

This is what happens (ignore the names, what matters is the upload file, type and size).

and this is what is expected

An important note...I can save directly on the "/media" folder and save the Url on the "application" item.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
