OK guys, in case someone has an issue with this in the file creation stage, that probably means you're working on Windows. Now, you don't need to feel discouraged and throw your computer to the trash (I actually like always having to find workarounds for my Windows :).

There's at least a solution, and this is the one I found. My problem is the file does not get created because Windows does not accept filenames with colon (':') on it. My solution is rather simple. After I get the current date, I use replace() and a regexp to change that into a dash. Viola. It works!

Just in case, this is one way to do it: filename: function(req, file, cb){ const now = new Date().toISOString(); const date = now.replace(/:/g, '-'); cb(null, date + file.originalname); }

Hope it helps someone who´s working in windows.
