Hi Community,

I realy appreciate the secure and local storage provided by monday. It simplifies the process of handling data while ensuring compliance with privacy regulations—thank you for that!

However, as my app evolves, I’ve encountered scenarios requiring “file storage capabilities”. A solution for file handling, integrated with the same level of privacy and compliance, would be incredibly helpful.

Does the community or monday’s team have any plans for such functionality? Or are there best practices in place for managing files securely within monday code/apps?

Looking forward to your thoughts and insights!

Thank you,

Surely the answer to this is store files as assets in mdc or add them to a file column.

Thanks for the suggestion! Storing files as assets or in a file column works in some cases but isn’t ideal for account-wide or app-critical files.

  • Account-Wide Files: Files relevant across boards shouldn’t be tied to a specific column.
  • User Preferences: Not all users want files stacked in columns.
  • Risk of Deletion: Critical app files could be accidentally deleted, disrupting functionality.

A dedicated, secure file storage solution for apps would better address these challenges. Thoughts?

there are multiple solutions available on monday.com marketplace,
where you can find files that allow you to integrate monday.com with 3rd party file management solutions like Google Drive and OneDrive.
