2018.2

The Connect Server has its own File Store which it uses for transient files. This File Store is
managed by the Cleanup service who takes care of removing obsolete files when those files
are not marked as permanent. This greatly reduces the amount of administration required to
manage the files. We figured that since there is already a File Store and REST API calls to
connect to it, why not turn that into an accessible feature for customer implementations?
With Connect 1.8, the Workflow 8.8 tool implements three new tasks that allow you to Upload,
Download and Delete files in the Connect File Store.
Files can be marked as permanent, in which case the Cleanup service won’t touch them. The
files can still be accessed through the REST API, which means web portals could potentially
access the files directly without having to go through a Workflow process. The feature is
therefore centralized and portable as it does not rely on any specific location or folder.
