Writing to a FIle in M-Files

Mfiler23

I have a software application that currently writes to a file which is saved in my local PC.  Now, since starting to use M-files, how would I write to a document in M-files?  The M-Files files don't exactly have a file path.  Please let me know where to start.  Thanks.

    Hi there, this type of use case is typically outside what's recommended for M-Files, however, it's possible to access the file via filepath so long as you have a view defined which that file is a part of... depending on the manipulation being performed you are likely going to consider and API driven approach which would likely require pulling the file out into a temporary file location, performing the updates, and then uploading the updated file back to M-Files as a new version.  How often does your application write to this file? Is this something which could be maintained locally while in use and then moved into M-files for more long term storage after these updated have been completed?

    The file is being written to daily.  Thanks for your reply.  I will look into the API approach.
