File System

  • Reference

Connect to a File System on your network machine to get file updates.

This article describes the operations for the File System built-in connector, which is available only for Standard workflows in single-tenant Azure Logic Apps. If you're looking for the File System managed connector operations instead, see File System managed connector reference.

Limitations

  • For a new connection, the built-in connector expects a fully-qualified domain name, unlike the managed connector, which uses the machine name in the root path.

  • The built-in connector supports up to 20 connections maximum for a Standard logic app resource.

  • The built-in connector doesn't support duplicate connections, which have the same root folder path, with different credentials. Although connection creation succeeds, the new connection continues to use the credentials from the previous connection.

Built-in connector settings

In a Standard logic app resource, the application and host settings control various thresholds for performance, throughput, timeout, and so on. For more information, see Edit host and app settings for Standard logic app workflows.
