Answer 1

There is file uploading built into React Native.

Example from React Native code:

var photo = {     uri: uriFromCameraRoll,     type: 'image/jpeg',     name: 'photo.jpg', };  var body = new FormData(); body.append('authToken', 'secret'); body.append('photo', photo); body.append('title', 'A beautiful photo!');  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open('POST', serverURL); xhr.send(body);
