File Storage

ThingsBoard can store binary content (files) in the database. This is currently used to store report files generated by the Generate Dashboard Report rule node. Stored files can be attached to emails via the Send Email node, or sent to external systems using the REST API Call node.

Users can access stored files through the Files or Reports widgets, which are part of the Files Widgets Bundle.

Files Widget

Section titled “Files Widget”
