Download files from Azure file storage

Hi, 

We generate some XML files for a financial interface. These XML files are generated by a Scheduled Process flow. On a daily basis this averages on about 40 files. These files are saved in a Azure File storage. However, our client has a shared disk in the company network, where a File Handler is scanning a set folder. When a XML is in this folder, it is uploaded to the Financial Interface, 

Currently, the end user has to download these XML files manually, and place them in the shared drive.

We want to automate this process, so that the end-user has no longer to this. These files cannot be zipped, but must be 40 separate files written to this shared drive. 

What would be the best way to achieve this?  Any advice in the right direction is very welcome. 

Regards, 

Blommetje

Hi Blommetje,

The shared drive and the Azure files are the same / synchronized via the Azure File Sync agent?

You can use a file storage provider of type ‘Azure files’ and directly write the files to the desired folder using the write-file connector in the scheduled system flow. I’d assume the scanning of the folder would pick up on new files added via the Azure File Sync as well.

Alternatively, you can make sure the mapped network drive is available to Indicium and use a file storage provider of type ‘Disk’ and use the write-file connector in the scheduled system flow to write them to disk.
