@paguin The documentation to set this up can be found below:

IFS Cloud File Storage - Technical Documentation For IFS Cloud

Please be aware of the following note, though:

Note: File Storage is only supported in IFS managed cloud deployments. This ensures the Azure Blob Storage is provisioned and ready to use.

We have this setup in our IFS Managed Cloud Deployment and it works just fine.  The setup only took a couple of minutes.  If you are self-hosted, I don’t know what you would have to do (or if you can) make this work.

We used the details found here to set up cloud storage.

https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r2/030_administration/210_cloud_file_storage/#setup_file_storage

 

The setup is very quick.  Once file storage was configured, we used the “Transfer Documents” screen in IFS to move files between repositories.  We moved about 50,000 documents.

 

After that was complete, we opened a ticket with Unified Support to do a database reorg and reclaim the space.

 

Best of luck
