Hello folks!

  2. parse server w/ predefined schema for my classes/MyClass

This guide may help you: https://docs.parseplatform.org/rest/guide/#files

I believe you have to upload each of the files and then the object.

got it, thanks. I used axios on client to manage API requests, looks like need to use native parse server client to iniialize object and upload files

It is not necessary. You can use either the SDK or another framework like axios. In the case of using axios, you need to send the post request in the way specified in the liked I sent you.
