Start by signing up for a Filebase account, then logging into the Filebase dashboard.
Simply navigate to your Dashboard Console, create a new bucket and choose the IPFS option.
After clicking on the bucket name, select Upload in the top right corner. You will have three options:
File: File is for uploading an individual file to IPFS. This can be an image, video, audio, text, or any other file type.
Folder: Folder is for uploading a folder containing multiple files, such as an NFT collection, or the files for a static website.
CID: CID stands for content identifier, and is for re-pinning an existing IPFS CID that you may have from another pinning provider or a local IPFS node.
To upload a single file, choose File, then when prompted select the file you want to upload to IPFS.
Once uploaded, confirm that that status reads pinned. You will then be able to view and copy the IPFS CID from the CID category, as seen below.
