File type is missing in the URL for raw files

Hello,

I am trying to upload raw files to Cloudinary using the below URL

 
The upload works fine but when I log in to my Cloudinary media library to see the file, the file URL has the extension of the file missing. This causes the downloaded file unusable. 
 
Attached screenshot for your reference.
 
Could you please help me with this issue?
 
Thanks!

    Hi Gowtham,

    The format is dependent on the extension of the file being uploaded to your Media Library account. For example:

    cloudinary.uploader.upload("https://res.cloudinary.com/dnjnqvjbi/raw/upload/v1658357176/6bf8544f-ac67-4353-98fe-318b4e798354-CV_1658357175698", public_id="6bf8544f-ac67-4353-98fe-318b4e798354-CV_1658357175698", resource_type="raw")
    In the case that you want to provide this information, you can add the filename extension or you may use the `format` parameter, and this value will become the extension of the asset filename. For example:
     
    cloudinary.uploader.upload("https://res.cloudinary.com/dnjnqvjbi/raw/upload/v1658357176/6bf8544f-ac67-4353-98fe-318b4e798354-CV_1658357175698", format="docx", public_id="6bf8544f-ac67-4353-98fe-318b4e798354-CV_1658357175698", resource_type="raw")
    Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Hey Eric,

    Thanks for your quick response.

    I tried setting the format option in the URL. When I use the format option, the filename is stored in the Cloudinary as <example>.docx.docx and if I remove the format, the filename is stored as <example>.

    I am passing the file with the extension. Could you please help?

    Thanks in adavnce!

    Hi Gowtham,

    It is also possible to provide the extension of the file without using the parameter format, for example:

    cloudinary.uploader.upload("c:\samplefile.doc", public_id="samplepublicid", resource_type="raw")

    But just to check further, could you please help to provide a sample upload code that you used and also a sample *.docx file that has this duplicated extension?
