File storage
The file storage feature allows you to upload files to a dedicated storage space.
File upload restrictions
- The maximum file size is 1 GB.
- The file size can not be bigger than the remaining storage space of your server.
- To upload a file, you need to have the
MANAGE_FILESpermission.
File access
Files can be accessed from everywhere by all users with access to the storage location of the file. Access can be granted on a file-by-file basis or by granting access to a folder. When granting access to a folder, the access is inherited by all files in the folder and its subfolders.
While the files can be accessed via an url, the browser needs to be authenticated to access the file. This means that the file can not be accessed by a user that is not logged in or does not have the necessary permissions.
Deleting files
To delete a file, you need to have the MANAGE_FILES permission. Once a file is deleted, it can not be restored.
The occupied storage space will be freed up and can be used for new files.
