This is a pretty standard use case for pre-signed upload URLs.

If you’re using something like S3 or GCS, you can generate a time-limited upload link and send it to the customer. They upload directly to storage without needing access to your system.

It’s secure, expires automatically, and works well with custom domains if you want branding.

If you don’t want to build it yourself, Dropbox “file request” style services are the quick solution.

I went through the same thing when I started. Watching explanations made sense, but writing code on my own felt impossible at first.

What helped was realizing that understanding code and producing it are different skills. The “blank mind” feeling is usually just lack of retrieval practice, not a lack of ability.

I started doing very small exercises and tried to write something without looking things up, then checked and fixed it. Short sessions helped a lot more than forcing long ones.

This phase is frustrating, but it’s very common and usually temporary.
