They can be used everywhere in your jinja template for e.g: list all available files. Combined you can do something like:

<ul> 
  {% for file in fu_get_existing_files() %} 
    <li><a href="{{ file }}">{{ file|fu_filename }} </a></li> 
  {% endfor %} 
</ul> 

HowTo

from flask import Flask
from flask_fileupload import FlaskFileUpload

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_object("config")
ffu = FlaskFileUpload(app)
lm = LoginManager(app)

class User(UserMixin):
    def __init__(self, user_id):
        self.id = user_id


@lm.user_loader
def load_user(user_id):
    return User(user_id)

Change Storage

from flask_fileupload import FlaskFileUpload
from flask_fileupload.storage.s3storage import S3Storage
...
s3storage = S3Storage()
ffu = FlaskFileUpload(app, s3storage)

If no storage is provided, the default storage will be taken
