Hello, When I try to set the name like this, I got an error
code:

     name = self.clean_file_name(video.name)
    video_file = self.client.files.upload(
                    file=Path(video.path),
                    config={"name": name},
                )

error:

/python3.12/site-packages/google/genai/files.py", line 704, in upload
    response=_File_from_mldev(self._api_client, return_file.json['file']),
                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'file'

Without config it works, but with random name. I need to be able to retrieve files later via get(name=filename)

Hi @Oleksandr_Tsikhun , Could you try the following code to specify a custom filename?

uploaded_file = client.files.upload(
    file="path",
    config=types.UploadFileConfig(display_name='custom_name')
)

@GUNAND_MAYANGLAMBAM , thnx!You pushed me to solve my problem. To be able to get the file by name, I use your updated code:
config=types.UploadFileConfig(name='custom_name')
Appreciate!

                    config=UploadFileConfig(name=name)
                )

Error:
