We have use case where currently we are sharing the document to external system via Appian Web API ( created through existing Appian API document download template ). External system is requesting to share the data as base64 string. We could achieve same via plugin available in App Market ( Base64 Document Database Integration ). I wanted to confirm what are the advantages and disadvantages of sharing document via base64 string over existing approach.
If anyone used base64 string encoded method to share document, can you share the advantages, and disadvantages over the approach.

There was a recent discussion that the Appian memory limit of 1MB also affects this plugin. If you want to share large documents, this will probably not work.
Thanks Stefan for inputs on same.
