The File Store List
Each row is one file collection. The layout mirrors Database:| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Collection name. |
| Max | Max file count allowed in the collection. |
| Current | Current file count. |
| Created by | Email of the creator. |
| Actions | Share, Rename, More (Delete, Export). |
Inside a Collection
Clicking a collection row opens its detail view.
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| Filter by filename or tag | Client-side search. |
| Refresh | Re-fetch the list. |
| Upload | Add one or more files. |
| Column | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Name | Click to preview the file. |
| Custom Tags | Free-text tags you can apply for grouping. |
| Type | Inferred MIME/format (e.g. HTML Document, PDF, CSV). |
| Public | Yes/No — whether the file has a public URL. |
| Created / Last Updated | Timestamps. |
| Actions | Edit metadata, Delete. |
Uploading Files
Click Upload to attach files from your local machine. Files are stored in the collection and get a stable URL you can reference from workflows (and, if made public, share externally). Typical upload patterns:- Drag and drop — drop one or many files onto the Upload button.
- Workflows write directly — workflow steps (e.g. code execution, scraper, document processing) can emit files straight into a specified collection without a manual upload.
Sharing
Share per collection via the Share action. ACLs match Database and Connections:- Read — list and download files.
- Write — upload, rename, tag, delete.
- Admin — share further.
Using File Stores in Agents and Workflows
Reference File Store collections through the built-in File Storage MCP server. Tools include listing collections, listing files, reading file contents, creating files, and moving files between collections. Common recipes:- Download every attachment from a trigger email into a collection.
- Save screenshots or PDFs generated by workflows.
- Stage exports from one service (e.g. a CSV pulled from Salesforce) before feeding them into another.
Notes
- File Store is builder-only.
- Files can be made public on a per-file basis — the generated public URL is stable until you unshare.
- Large uploads are chunked automatically; the UI shows per-file progress.
- For document retrieval (question-answering over a set of files), use Knowledge Base instead; it indexes content for semantic search, while File Store just stores the raw files.
