Custom attributes for Files

Question

Can I create a folder and Upload Files with Chatter API as we do for Documents object with REST API? Or Can we add a custom attribute to Files.

What my goal is, I have to categorize the files. Each file uploaded belongs to some category. I need to implement the categorization in salesforce somehow. By adding an attribute named category and saving the category name in it. Or by creating a folder with name as the category and uploading the file to it. Is it possible? Please help.

You can use ContentVersion which supports the addition of custom fields. Go through the documentation here and let me know if that meets your requirement.
