Hi.
I'm having trouble moving my Business Central 15 extension from On Premis to Cloud.
I have several functions that fail me like Exists 0 TemporaryPath (). It gives me the following error: The type or method 'Exists' / 'TemporaryPath()' cannot be used for 'Cloud' development.
Can someone tell me what to do for these cases or where can I find the new functions that replace them?

Greetings and thanks.

    Hi Antonio,

    In Cloud /SaaS you can not use file directly, you should refactor your extension / Solution.

    Try to use Stream instead of file.

    There are many articles on File Handling in BC Cloud, few of them are below.
