Are you suck on the server or the client side?

[CLOVIS]

My implementation for the client-side can be found in this package (https://gitlab.com/clovis-ai/formulaide/-/tree/main/client/src/commonMain/kotlin/formulaide.client/files, see also the actuals). It works for JVM and JS, it should be easy to extend to other platforms.

I do not know if this is the simplest way or not, but it works well.

You can find an example for uploading a file with multipart/form-data in the documentation.

@Aleksei Tirman [JB] that example is JVM-only (java.io.File)

I suppose the part with reading bytes from a file is easily replaceable.
