Microsoft presents: Help, my DB is too large! Offloading Data with the External File Storage module
In the 2025 Wave 1 release, a curious new module quietly joined the developer toolbox: External File Storage and its connectors. With little documentation and no obvious impact, it left many wondering - what is it, and what can we use it for?
This session lifts the veil on the mystery. We'll explore how this module can help you offload large BLOBs from your Business Central database to external storage, freeing up valuable megabytes. You'll learn how it works, how to use it, and what Microsoft envisions for its future. If your database is bursting at the seams, this is your chance to learn how leverage this new tool in the toolbox to slim it down.
