**Issue: Cloudinary Not Uploading Files**
It’s important to verify the Cloudinary connection before handling uploads. If the credentials (cloud name, API key, or secret) are incorrect, uploads can silently fail or throw errors like:
401 Unauthorized
Missing required parameter - file
Invalid Signature
A simple cloudinary.api.ping() check can be added during server startup to ensure connection is valid and help with early debugging.
suggestion :->
cloudinary.api.ping((error, result) => {
if (error) {
console.error("Cloudinary connection error:", error);
}
else
console.log("Cloudinary connected successfully!", result);
