[Feature Request]: Enable uploading files in AutoGen Studio

[jmrada14]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, AutoGen Studio lacks the functionality to upload files. This feature would enhance the user experience and expand the platform's capabilities.

Describe the solution you'd like

Uploading Files from UI:

• Integrate functionality to upload files from the AutoGen Studio user interface.
• Upon uploading, files should be associated with the session and stored in a designated folder.
• This feature facilitates seamless interaction with documents within the platform.
• Provide options to perform actions on uploaded documents, such as classification, extraction, transformation (potentially using skills)

Implementation Suggestions:

• Develop UI components for file upload and browsing functionalities.
• Implement backend logic to handle file upload, storage, and retrieval.
• Integrate with existing agents to enable interactions related to file management.

Hi @jmrada14 ,

The general plan seems good. I'll add more comments later.

First, I would encourage you to review the autogenstudio contribution guide too https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/tree/autogenstudio/samples/apps/autogen-studio#contribution-guide. The main guidance is to ensure your work builds on the autogenstudio branch.

Hi @victordibia , Is the file uploading option available in the AutoGen? (e.g. To analyze the PDF or code files from my local system)
