How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

AnythingLLM Desktop v1.11.2 on Windows 11. Calling API endpoint /v1/document/upload/{folderName} always return an internal server error (please find attached backend and collector logs), whether the folder already exists or not. The problem is not present on Linux, same AnythingLLM Desktop version (Appimage format).

upload_dir_backend-2026-03-26.log
upload_dir_collector-2026-03-26.log

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Just use the API interface provided in the "Developer API" menu to upload a document in a folder, you''ll receive the error above.

Yes, using API GUI:

And backend.log is:

{"level":"error","message":"ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename 'C:\Users\andrea\AppData\Roaming\anythingllm-desktop\storage\documents\C:\Users\andrea\AppData\Roaming\anythingllm-desktop\storage\documents\custom-documents\An-introduction-to-neural-networks-for-beginners.pdf-484e23f6-911c-41a6-b0e5-2c339c375070.json' -> 'C:\Users\andrea\AppData\Roaming\anythingllm-desktop\storage\documents\myfolder\An-introduction-to-neural-networks-for-beginners.pdf-484e23f6-911c-41a6-b0e5-2c339c375070.json' Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename 'C:\Users\andrea\AppData\Roaming\anythingllm-desktop\storage\documents\C:\Users\andrea\AppData\Roaming\anythingllm-desktop\storage\documents\custom-documents\An-introduction-to-neural-networks-for-beginners.pdf-484e23f6-911c-41a6-b0e5-2c339c375070.json' -> 'C:\Users\andrea\AppData\Roaming\anythingllm-desktop\storage\documents\myfolder\An-introduction-to-neural-networks-for-beginners.pdf-484e23f6-911c-41a6-b0e5-2c339c375070.json'\n at Object.renameSync (node:fs:1032:11)\n at C:\Users\andrea\AppData\Local\Programs\AnythingLLM\resources\backend\server.js:318:7448\n at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)","service":"backend"}

Oh, do not use the Swagger UI for file attachments - it is blocked intentionally because the docs page is open and people should not be able to push binaries/files from that. Use a proper CURL command or an REST API GUI like Bruno or Postman to test file uploads

I used curl (Windows version), no difference (see below): upload a file with no folder specified works well; with the folder always receive Internal Server Error
