question is in the title 😄 Now I had to make a route handler just for the file, but I dislike losing the type-safety provided by server actions.

Sure you can whats stopping you?
It needs to be json parsable if I remember correctly
Just convert the file to base64 and then convert it back to a blob
If I remember correctly converting the base64 will make the network transfer about 30% larger over the wire, or something along those lines.

But I want the bytes, the binary 😄
Convert it back?
It’s not a one way street
I don’t know of a more streamlined approach.
