Hi all,

I have multiple pictures and pdfs stored in local folder.

In this folder there are one or multiple files related to an Item. 

How can I upload these files without showing popup window and only upload using AL program to BC tables?

Any suggestion will be appreciable. Thanks, in advance

Regards,

yasmeen

    On SaaS you cannot access local resources like network folders. You can prompt the user to select a local folder (with methods like UploadIntoStream) or if you want a silent process you can create an external service that loads the files from the local network to the online service (maybe via APIs).

    Thank you so much for the reply Stefano Demiliani.

    I'm working on BC15 on prem not Saas.

    I have no problem to access local folder. I know that we can upload method to upload the file but how I upload multiple images/files?

    For item images, there's a built-in functionality:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../inventory-how-import-item-pictures

    For importing generic multiple files, you can create a zip file and unpack it server side or (if you're onprem) you can loop through a folder and then import file by file with something like:

    archerpoint.com/.../
