Filestore
The Filestore is a temporarily storage for files, during a single execution of a workflow. It is shared between blocks in one single workflow. So you could transfer a file from block A to block B.
Every file is related to one Record (Or empty object in Mailscanner/Scheduler) in CRM and have a unique ID (The Filestore ID).
You could access the file with this ID. But only on same record, like it was stored. It is not possible to use the filestore of current Record within Workflows triggered by block “execute workflow with external records”.
In this case every execution have it’s own filestore.
Files would be deleted after the execution of Workflow is finished and no delay is still active.
