I just need to get the name of the file.

Use Path.GetFileName() to get the name of the file , and use Path.Combine() to combine the the save path you want with the file name , try the code like below

 var filesPath = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "/files";
        if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(filesPath))
        {
            Directory.CreateDirectory(filesPath);
        }

        foreach (var item in files)
        {
            if (item.Length > 0)
            {
                var fileName = Path.GetFileName(item.FileName);
                var filePath = Path.Combine(filesPath, fileName);
                using (var stream = new FileStream(filesPath, FileMode.CreateNew))
                {
                    await item.CopyToAsync(stream);
                }
            }
        }

There's a minor correction: you should construct the FileStream with filePath instead of filesPath — CodePro_NotYet, Aug 17 '23 at 05:09

Seem like you want to get the file name base on your file path. You can get it into way

using System.IO;

Path.GetFileName(filePath);

or extension method

public static string GetFilename(this IFormFile file)
{
    return ContentDispositionHeaderValue.Parse(
                    file.ContentDisposition).FileName.ToString().Trim('"');
}

Please let me know if you need any help

I faced the same issue with different browsers. IE send FileName with full path and Chrome send only the file name. I used Path.GetFileName() to overcome issue.

Other fix is at your front end side. Refer this to solve from it front end side.
