Hi,

I am handling documents in Appian using "a!fileUploadField".

When we upload the files/documents using this component it is allowing to upload the files/documents to a specific Folder which we have created inside Appian.

I would like to check if there is a way I can upload the documents to the network folder which is mounted.

Any advises please.

One easy supported method might be to create an FTP connection that uses the network folder, and have Appian send the necessary file(s) to that FTP.

Thanks Mike to replying to my message.

Is it possible to refer the document with documentID even after storing the files/documents in the external network drive using FTP connection?

Hi Swap,
simply no. A document Id is even environment specific and to make it visual: your are leaving Appian at that point, so there is no way to call the external document with just the internal documentId (if i decrypted your idea, correctly ;) )
Kind regards,
Richard
