Business value
The External File Storage module gives you a simple API for storing files outside of Business Central. When you install External File Storage Connector apps, you can easily set up where to store data for file scenarios that Business Central applications implement.
Feature details
Connect to external storage accounts, containers, and blobs, and work with them from your AL code. The External File Storage module gives you a framework to connect easily to Azure Blob Services or Azure Files.
As an AL developer, use the module to:
- Create, open, change, and delete files through an easy-to-use API.
- Specify external file storage scenarios and let users configure the storage for each scenario.
- Browse through external file storages.
