Cloudinary Setup

To integrate Cloudinary for file uploads, you will need to obtain your Cloudinary Cloud Name and Upload Preset.

How to Obtain Your Cloudinary Keys

Sign Up/Log In:
- If you don't already have a Cloudinary account, sign up here.
- If you already have an account, log in to Cloudinary Dashboard.
Obtain Your Cloud Name:
- After logging in, go to the Dashboard.
- On the Dashboard, you will see the Cloud Name. This is the unique identifier for your Cloudinary account. You’ll need this to configure your app.
Create an Upload Preset:
- Navigate to the Settings section in the dashboard.
- Under Upload, find the Upload Presets section and create a new preset.
- Choose the configuration settings that suit your project needs (e.g., image types, transformation options).
- Once created, you’ll have an Upload Preset.

After obtaining your Cloudinary Cloud Name and Upload Preset, add the following to your .env file:

# Cloudinary File Upload Configuration
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME="your-cloud-name"
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_UPLOAD_PRESET="your-upload-preset"

Replace the placeholders with the values you obtained:

After updating your .env file with the appropriate keys, make sure to restart your application to apply the changes.
