I'm working on an upload file function for my web tool and I'm facing an issue. The problem is that Flask is not receiving the files from the HTML form. I have already set the route, and created the form tag accordingly to what is required like the method POST and still not working. Am I doing anything wrong?
HTML
<form action="/" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="form-horizontal">
<div class="row form-group">
<div class="col-12 col-md-12">
<div class="control-group" id="fields">
<label class="control-label" for="field1">
Requests
</label>
<div class="controls">
<div class="entry input-group upload-input-group">
<input class="form-control" name="fields[]" type="file">
<button class="btn btn-upload btn-success btn-add" type="button">
<i class="fa fa-plus"></i>
</button>
</div>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Submit">Upload</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>Python/Flask
