In this episode, we're focusing on a best practice for storing exported files in your application—organizing them per user. Rather than tossing all export files into a single directory where filename conflicts could happen, we'll learn how to keep things nice and tidy by putting each user's exports in their own folder.
We'll start by cleaning up any existing export examples so we have a blank slate. Then, we'll walk through prefixing exported file paths with the user's ID. This is a simple change but it goes a long way for both security and organization. We'll look at the code changes needed on both the export and download flows, ensuring that everything lines up with our new structure.
You'll see how this small tweak helps prevent filename collisions (in case two users export something with the same name at the same time) and also makes future cleanup easy—like if a user deletes their account, you can easily remove all their files. It's a quick tip, but really important to make sure user data stays separate. Feel free to customize the approach based on your needs!
