You may assign hypi.id of the uploaded file to any field with File type. Let’s say you have Student data type and you want to store Resume of the student. So, you may have something like this.

type Student {
 name: String
 resume: File
}

Store the file in the resume field of the Student data type using hypi.id of the uploaded file.
Please note Hypi accepts multiple file types. All the image files get saved as Image data type.
