Therefore all files are stored relative to the workflow application they belong to. </p> <p>Documents are valuable artifacts of workflow process. They must be included in backups and so forth as a consequence workflow administrators must known where these documents live. .... so, if the API would allow to store files just anywhere on a drive, this would be a miss-conception. </p> <p>What you can do since 8.0 is to change the root directory of all files that belong to an application: <a href="https://dev.axonivy.com/doc/8.0/engine-guide/configuration/files/app-yaml.html">https://dev.axonivy.com/doc/8.0/engine-guide/configuration/files/app-yaml.html</a> <img alt="alt text" src="https://answers.axonivy.com/upfiles/Selection_827.png"></p>Reguel WermelingerMon, 11 May 2020 04:09:36 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/4560/ivy-wf-documents-how-to-change-root-destination-path-of-uploaded-files/4561
