Reading and writing files directly

Server Code
1

Is it possible to read and write to files directly on the Files Service? My hunch is no for several reasons, one being security. But I thought I’d at least ask…

What I’m trying to achieve is:

  1. JavaScript tool to upload a Excel file (or CSV) to the File Service and then call a custom event handler
  2. That Java custom event handler will read in the file directly, process it, change some content, and then save it the output to another file on the File Service

Hi, Simon,

You can use Javascript and Android SDK recpectively to download or upload a file on client and in bussiness logic.

Our system does not allow accessing the files directly (not through API) even from servercode, because in this case the users would be able to violate different restrictions, for example exceed the disk space limit.
