The functionality we're going to add in this tutorial is uploading the image to Cloudinary. (Later, we'll also deliver the image in the Flutter app from Cloudinary.)The initial step to uploading the image to Cloudinary involves constructing the URL for the POST request.

You can also optionally enter a folder where the images uploaded with this upload preset will be stored. After saving this upload preset, it will appear in the list of presets.
