Hello and thanks for asking, we do not support and will not support base64 because of its bad influence on performance. Thank you 🙂

hello

that's too bad because I technically need base64: I need to encrypt the file I'm uploading, and I need the base64 of the file to encrypt it with my algo...

do you have a suggestion ?

[arnaudambro]

well it seems not so hard

const RNFS = require('react-native-fs');

..

const base64 = await RNFS.readFile(document.uri, 'base64');
