File Upload Example

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!

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.

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.

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.
