Posted on by paul_matthews

I am looking to store a large number of file in my application (Model Driven App) and therefore was looking at saving the files at notes and configuring Azure Blob Storage for the purpose.

I have also been looking at the new File column type which seems to be a 1 to 1 relationship between the document and the dataverse record. I have a couple of questions regarding this

1. Where is the file stored? and do you have control over this?

2. Am I am to retrieve the direct download url for the file.

Thanks for you help in advance.

Paul

Hi @rampprakash

Thanks for you reply. I am using a file column not an image, and I retrieve the url automatically in order to populate a different column in the table.

thanks
Paul
