    RE: Incoming documents

    From Franz Kalchmair:

    yes, in the end it's stored in the db (blob field). so the performance of the system becomes more and more worse with many documents.

    to change that, you could customize the storage process to store files external on the file system or use a document management system.

    the easiest way with no customization of the store process would be a new batch job that exports the blob fields to the file system, then remove them from system storage.

    Hi

    I dont you have any proformance problems as the are stored outside Business Central in another system

    Perhaps as dont know how. Big your company is, and 5 gb is relativ, you will have ti pay for storage, as the free limit is

    80 gb. For BC data in BC, and I dont know how much free space you have for external docs
