Hi All,

 

Is it possible to integrate NAS with K2. Is there any servvice broker available for the same? I need to create a folder structure using dynamic path content and then fetch the docs from there later. I only found references for K2 and Sharepoint library. Please provide your insights on this.

 

Thanks in advance,

Nidhin

Hi,


 


Do you mean you want to retrieve files stored in a folder in your NAS? There is a custom service broker you can try in the market. Not sure about dynamic paths, but if the path works from your K2 server, it should work for this service broker.

Thanks BoringNerd for the reply.

I think I can use this service broker to upload a file to that location, but before that  I want to a create a folder structure based on certain IDs(Eg. Root/UserID/ArticleID/Files). I am looking for something like 'create folder' method which will create a folder with the ID inputs at that location. Please help.

The broker does appears to have a Create method with a 'FilePath' option:


 



 


I have not had a chance to test, but if the path does not exist, two things can happen:


 


1.  It throws error


2.  It creates the path


 


If it does not create the path, perhaps the broker can be extended with a create folder functionality as it does contain the sourcecode:
