you can't upload to /public. the public content is taken at build so you need to rebuild (if you use vercel) or restart the server (if you self-host) to get the new files
so you have to use a separate file storage solution like aws s3 or cloudflare r2 (if you use vercel) or save it elsewhere and read it with fs (if you self-host)
