File Storage
Managing files with S3-based storage in FlowTrux.
FlowTrux provides built-in file storage for your organization. Files can be uploaded, downloaded, browsed, and deleted through the Settings interface or used programmatically within workflows via the Files MCP server.
Accessing File Storage
Navigate to Settings > Files to open the file browser. This section is available to the Owner.
Features
Browse Files and Folders
The file browser displays all files and folders in your organization's storage. You can navigate into folders, view file names, sizes, and modification dates.
Upload Files
Click the upload button to select files from your local machine. Uploaded files are stored in the organization's S3 bucket, organized by workspace prefix.
Download Files
Select a file and click download to retrieve it to your local machine.
Delete Files
Select one or more files and delete them. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
Storage Usage
A progress bar at the top of the file browser shows current storage consumption relative to your plan's maxStorageMB limit. Individual file uploads are restricted by the maxFileSizeMB limit defined in your plan.
File Organization
Files are organized by workspace prefix within the storage bucket. Each workspace has its own namespace, keeping files isolated between workspaces.
Using Files in Workflows
The Files MCP server provides tools for workflows to read, write, and manage files in storage. When you add a Files MCP server to a workspace, workflow nodes can interact with the file system programmatically.
Typical use cases include:
- Saving workflow output (reports, data exports) to storage.
- Reading input files uploaded through the UI.
- Processing files as part of an automated pipeline.
