Local File node

You can use the Local File node to transfer the files from your device to the workflow. You can use the node in the workflows whose purpose is to pass the data further (for example, for import).

Prerequisites

• Only accepted file formats: .csv, .xml, .json
• Maximum size of the file: 5 MB
