Persist an ARBITRARY user file (image, video, audio, PDF or document, up to 150MB) into Hermoso and get back a durable public URL that EVERY publish, schedule and ad-build tool accepts — post_to_meta / post_to_linkedin / post_to_linkedin_page / post_to_youtube / post_to_tiktok / post_to_pinterest / post_to_x / post_to_reddit / post_to_google_business / schedule_post / upload_meta_asset / upload_google_ads_asset / create_meta_ad / create_linkedin_ads_creative / set_youtube_thumbnail / save_to_drive / save_to_onedrive. THIS IS THE BRING-YOUR-OWN-CREATIVE PATH: it is for files that have NOTHING to do with a Hermoso render (media on the user's desktop, an agency's finished ad, a photo they shot), and it means you can publish, schedule and run ads through Hermoso without generating anything here. Provide exactly ONE source — passing two is an error, never a silent preference: `url` (ANY public http(s) link — Hermoso fetches it server-side, so nothing crosses this connection and there is no practical size limit; THIS IS THE ONE THAT ALWAYS WORKS, including on the hosted connector), `path` (a local file — ONLY when Hermoso runs on the user's own machine over stdio/CLI; the hosted connector cannot see their disk), or `dataUri` (a base64 data: URI — keep it under ~15MB, since the bytes travel over this connection). If the file is already at a public https URL, the Meta, Reddit and ChatGPT-Ads tools take it directly and re-host it safely — but LinkedIn (posts and ad creatives), Pinterest, the YouTube thumbnail and upload_google_ads_asset upload the BYTES themselves and therefore refuse an external host, so run it through here first and pass the URL this returns. When in doubt, use this: its URL works everywhere. (Calling the underlying HTTP route directly? POST /api/upload takes the file's RAW BYTES as the request body with its own content-type — NOT multipart/form-data — or ?url=<link> with no body.) Returns {url, kind, bytes}.
