Hey Rizwan,
I think what you are looking for, is the [Media Service](https://developers.shopware.com/developers-guide/shopware-5-media-service/#check-if-a-files-exists). So you can easily check if a product image/file exists and if necessary upload a new one.
Creating the correct paths takes over the service for you.
Create a folder via SFTP/FTP, e.g. “pdf”, “upload” or what ever.
Here is a small example for u:
```
$mediaService = Shopware()->Container()->get('shopware_media.media_service');
// Whatever u want do with the name
$_name = $_FILES['file']['name'];
$_file_content = file_get_contents($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);
// Check
if($mediaService->has("media/pdf/$_name") === false){
// upload to media Folder in md5 Format
try {
$mediaService->write("media/pdf/$_name", $_file_content);
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo '';
print_r($e);
echo '';
exit;
}
}
.
..
```
I hope I could give you a little inspiration.
Regards
