Hi ,

Yor are using the wrong Content-Type in Postman, it should be multipart/form-data instead of text/plain.

To Post the file with Apex Code see the following example:
Post File with Apex (https://gist.github.com/jovabe/e072545671c047243f0e2c80f8d137b4)

please mark as the best answer of this help you.

Hi tried the example given in the link you posted, but it is giving me an error response BAD Request 400
DEBUG|res: "No files received."
  
public class ABCService2 {
    @future(callout=true)
    public static void addJobApplicationFuture() {
        addJobApplication();
    }
    
    public static void addJobApplication() {        
        // Instantiate a new HTTP request
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        
        // Set method and endpoint
        req.setEndpoint('https://saas.docufree.com/dfwebservice/v3/files/capture/folder?targetId=3486');
        req.setMethod('POST');
        String bodyStr;
        bodyStr='Opportunity Name'+'|'+'Stage'+'|'+'Opportunity Id'+'\n';
        bodyStr+='MY OPPORTUNITY |OPEN|0064W00000wrlJc';

        // Set body
        String boundary = '----------------------------' + String.valueOf(DateTime.now().getTime());

try this code please:  
String fileName = 'MY_FILE.txt';
String fileContent =  'Opportunity Name'+'|'+'Stage'+'|'+'Opportunity Id'+'\n'+
        'MY OPPORTUNITY |OPEN|0064W00000wrlJc';
String targetURL = 'https://saas.docufree.com/dfwebservice/v3/files/capture/folder?targetId=3486';
String separationString = 'A_RANDOM_STRING';

// assemble the body payload
String header = '--' + separationString + '\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="' + fileName + '"\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\n\n';
String body = EncodingUtil.base64Encode(fileContent) + '\n';
String footer = '--' + separationString + '--';
String bodyPayload = header + body + footer;

// send out the request
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' + separationString);
req.setHeader('Content-Length', String.valueof(bodyPayload));
req.setMethod('POST');
req.setEndpoint(targetURL);
req.setBody(bodyPayload);

Http http = new Http();
http.send(req);

Here is the code in another way. i uesed it to send pdf:  
String fileContent = 'Opportunity Name'+'|'+'Stage'+'|'+'Opportunity Id'+'\n'+ 'MY OPPORTUNITY |OPEN|0064W00000wrlJc'; 
String targetURL = 'https://saas.docufree.com/dfwebservice/v3/files/capture/folder?targetId=3486';

String boundary = '----------------------------' + Datetime.now().format('yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSS\'Z\'');
		String header = '--' + boundary + '\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="jobapplication"; filename="MY_FILE.csv"\r\nContent-Type: text/csv';
		String footer = '\r\n--' + boundary + '--';
		String headerEncoded = EncodingUtil.base64Encode(Blob.valueOf(header + '\r\n\r\n'));
		while (headerEncoded.endsWith('='))
		{
			header += ' ';
			headerEncoded = EncodingUtil.base64Encode(Blob.valueOf(header + '\r\n\r\n'));
		}
		String bodyEncoded = EncodingUtil.base64Encode(Blob.valueOf(fileContent ));
		String footerEncoded = EncodingUtil.base64Encode(Blob.valueOf(footer));

		Blob bodyBlob = null;
		String last4Bytes = bodyEncoded.substring(bodyEncoded.length() - 4, bodyEncoded.length());
		if (last4Bytes.endsWith('='))
		{
			Blob decoded4Bytes = EncodingUtil.base64Decode(last4Bytes);
			HttpRequest tmp = new HttpRequest();
			tmp.setBodyAsBlob(decoded4Bytes);
			String last4BytesFooter = tmp.getBody() + footer;
			bodyBlob = EncodingUtil.base64Decode(headerEncoded + bodyEncoded.substring(0, bodyEncoded.length() - 4) + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(Blob.valueOf(last4BytesFooter)));
		}
		else
		{
			bodyBlob = EncodingUtil.base64Decode(headerEncoded + bodyEncoded + footerEncoded);
		}

        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' + boundary);
        req.setMethod('POST');
        req.setEndpoint(targetURL);
        req.setBodyAsBlob(bodyBlob);
        Http http = new Http();
        HTTPResponse res = http.send(req);
