How to upload an asset from a front-end form I've found information on how to upload an asset as part of creating an entry. What I am trying to do is upload an asset from the frontend without creating an entry. I have a logged in user, and what I would like them to be able to do is upload an asset to a folder that is unique to that user (folder name = username). Help?
That's not going to be possible to do without a plugin.

The plugin would need to provide its own Controller which does the following:


Grab info about the uploaded file using UploadedFile::getInstanceByName()
Determine the ID of the asset folder you want to upload the file to using AssetsService::findFolder()
Move the file into the folder using AssetsService::insertFileByLocalPath()


Here’s an example:

// Get info about the uploaded file
$file = UploadedFile::getInstanceByName('fileInputName');
$tempFilePath = $file-&gt;getTempName();

// Find the target folder
$folder = craft()-&gt;assets-&gt;findFolder(array(
    'sourceId' =&gt; 1,
    'path'     =&gt; 'subfolder/path/'
));

// Turn the file into a managed asset within that folder
craft()-&gt;assets-&gt;insertFileByLocalPath(
    $tempFilePath,
    $file-&gt;getName(),
    $folder-&gt;id,
    AssetConflictResolution::KeepBoth);
