Maybe I'm missing this somewhere... but how do you create a user avatar? A KinveyFile reference on the user doesn't seem to resolve like all the other collections. Does it have to be in a separate collection?

This must have been done before somewhere.

Hi Michael, resolving KinveyFile references is currently supported only through the Data Store API (and not through the User API).

so what's the recommended way then? seems like that should be documented somewhere (I couldn't find it)

do other references work on the user? could I reference an "avatars" collection that then has a file reference in it?

Yes, KinveyRef resolution works, and referencing an entity in a collection should work.
