Technology has always been a bridge, but today, it feels more like a mirror. With the rapid rise of AI , we are seeing things enter our lives and leave them at a pace we can barely track. To understand where this is going, we first have to understand how technology actually impacts the core of who we are. The Survivalist vs. The Ego Our minds are biologically wired for one thing: survival . We are designed to handle the worst-case scenario, an ancient instinct gifted to us by nature. We consider ourselves conscious decision-makers, but a critical question remains: Who is really making the call?
Here is solution to upload file in third party system using apex in salesforce.
below is formdata builder apex class which is building required parameters.

here is file upload apex class method. Where we are sending multiple parameters (metadata of document) and file body.
public void uploadFile(){
string contentType = HttpFormBuilder.GetContentType();
string form64 = '';
//adding documents metadata or properties
form64 += FormData.append('key','Value');
form64 += FormData.append('key','value');
//adding documents body with file parameter
blob formBlob= FormData.makeBlobWithFile('file',attachBody,filename,form64);
string contentLength = string.valueOf(formBlob.size());
HttpRequest httpRequest = new HttpRequest();
httpRequest.setBodyAsBlob(formBlob);
httpRequest.setHeader('Connection', 'keep-alive');
httpRequest.setHeader('Content-Length', contentLength);
httpRequest.setHeader('Content-Type', contentType);
httpRequest.setMethod('POST');
httpRequest.setTimeout(120000);
httpRequest.setHeader('Accept', 'application/json');
httpRequest.setHeader('Authorization',' ');
httpRequest.setEndpoint('END POINT');
Http http = new Http();
HttpResponse res = http.send(httpRequest);
