It would make more sense if you will share your code also.

In fact i solved the issue here's what i did if anyone may need this in the futur

1/ first i inherited the res.partner and added my binary field as follow :

field = fields.binary(string="my field")

2/ next i ingerited the portal.portal_my_details view and added my field as <input type="file"> without forgetting to add the attribute <attribute name="enctype">multipart/form-data</attribute> to the form in the template

3/ last step was to inherit the CustomerPortal class in the portal controller and this is where i encoded the file by doing this at the begining befor updation the values dict :

content = post.get('content')

FileData = content.read()

file_base64 = base64.encodestring(FileData)

and it worked perfectly

thank you hope it helps

This view and Controller override retain the uploaded filename as well.
View:

<data>

  <xpath expr="//form" position="attributes">

    <attribute name="enctype">multipart/form-data</attribute>

  </xpath>

  <xpath expr="//div/div/div/div[13]" position="after">

    <div t-attf-class="form-group #{error.get('x_test_file') and 'o_has_error' or ''} col-xl-6">

      <label class="col-form-label label-optional" for="x_test_file">Test File</label>

      <input id="upload" type="file" name="x_test_file" t-attf-class="form-control #{error.get('x_test_file') and 'is-invalid' or ''}" t-att-value="x_test_file or partner.x_test_file"/>

      <!--input id="upload_name" type="text" class="form-control o_website_form_input" name="x_test_file_filename"/-->

    </div>

  </xpath>

</data>

Controller:

import base64


from odoo import http

from odoo.http import content_disposition, Controller, request, route


from odoo.addons.portal.controllers.portal import CustomerPortal


CustomerPortal.OPTIONAL_BILLING_FIELDS.append('x_test_file')

CustomerPortal.OPTIONAL_BILLING_FIELDS.append('x_test_file_filename')


class CustomCustomerPortal(CustomerPortal):


    @route(['/my/account'], type='http', auth='user', website=True)

    def account(self, redirect=None, **post):

        

        test_file = post.get('x_test_file')

        if test_file:

            file_name = test_file.filename

            file_base64 = base64.encodestring(test_file.read())

            post.update({'x_test_file': file_base64})

            post['x_test_file_filename'] = file_name

        

        res = super(CustomCustomerPortal, self).account(redirect=None, **post)

        

        return res

Dear Amal ben aissa,

By default odoo you can attach any files to the customer portal or any form. you can see attachment symbol from the bottom of every form. you can click the symbol to attach files.


Thank you.
