Hello Everyone,
I need to export some specific attachment files to my external storage. I found this screen File Maintenance.
is there a way to specify multiple files at once then move them to my external storage instead of one by one?
I need them to be stored on external storage and not in Acumatica database.
Kindly assist.
Any kind of response will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi
I don’t know of a way to specifically export multiple files from the database at once, but I do know that there is a way to change the default behaviour of where attached files are stored.
So essentially you could change the file storage to ‘Store attached files in a local folder’, which would expose those files on your windows server.
You can read more about it over here: https://help-2022r1.acumatica.com/(W(1))/Help?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=a5989c03-43df-4f31-bd2d-db6d79be31c8

followed this and it took me to External File Storage;
But this doesn’t solve my issue since the option available here to move files to external storage(MOVE FILES TO STORAGE), actually moves all attached files to external storage upon clicking it.
I don’t wish to move all files to external storage but some specific files.

Hi
Ah, right, I see - I miss understood your initial requirements. If you would like to enable file synchronisation (which enables you to keep specific files up to date with an external source) for multiple files, then you can perhaps look at doing 1 of 2 things:
I hope this helps?
And here’s the results:
The mass action does not have the EXPORT FILE option on the GI screen.
But this GI is great to get all the Files that you would like to download from a particular screen. I am just testing with one screen.(I am trying to download all the attachment attached to the AP bills and adjustment screen.(I think multiple screens would also work, we would just need to provide the screenIDs for each screen) I am not using the mass update on this GI.
After i run this GI , I am getting the FILE name which is on the file maintenance screen and I created a Import scenario to update the Sync credentials and export the attachment to the shared folder.
The import scenario will update each file sync credentials and download the file, then move to the next File.
The import scenario exports the attachment to the folder specified.
I hope this helps you when trying to download multiple attachments.
