This endpoint returns a response like the following:

{
  "files": [
    {
      "name": "example_file.txt",
      "id": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a",
      "metadata": {},
      "created_on": "2023-11-07T05:31:56Z",
      "updated_on": "2023-11-07T05:31:56Z",

}

You can use the id value to check the status of an individual file.
