Hello @artmov
Default file storage is being deprecated, so you can ignore that post. Here is a link to the FAQs around why we are moving away from that: https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nwc/Content/Settings/DefaultFileStorageFAQ.htm
Regarding how to store a file that was attached to a File Upload control on a NWC form, you can easily do this by using any of the "Store a file" actions within NWC. These actions are for Box, Dropbox Business, Google Drive, SharePoint Online, MS OneDrive for Business.
To store your file, you just need to make a connection to the storage location and then select the file that you want to store (file upload) and destination within storage (path).
Here is an example of a file I am storing in OneDrive at the root (no subfolder) and am overwriting the file if it exists:
Also, here is a link to the OneDrive "Store a file" help docs in case you need more details: https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nwc/Content/Designer/Actions/OneDriveforBusiness-StoreaFile.htm
Hope this helps!
Great! That worked.
Any idea how to store it in Azure Blob Storage?
Hey @artmov
This would have to be done via APIs. Looking through the APIs for Azure storage, you would need to potentially do a "Create File" to create the actual file, and then a "Put Range" to write the content into the file.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/put-range
I have not used Azure Blob Storage so am unaware if there is an easier way to pass the file between NWC and the file storage.
Hey @artmov
One place I forgot to look was in our Gallery! We have an xtension that was built out and shared. I would take a look there and see if it fits your needs.

Hope this helps!
Hi jesse_mchargue,
Can you guide me how i can integrate with Azure blob. We need to save the file in container and retrieve the information back to save it on DB.
