File Share Considerations

If the File Explorer Manager solution has more than 1000 file share folders, you may experience performance issues with longer than normal wait times. .

Enable/Disable File Share Uploads: Enable or disable File Share uploads by going to OneStream Server Configuration Utility > File > Open Application Server Configuration File > OneStream Environment > Click Ellipsis > Enable File Share Uploads.

System Security Roles: File Share specific security roles can be configured by going to System > Security > System Security Roles.

Access Group, Maintenance Group, and Description: Due to limitations in File Share, moving and copying files or folders from the application or system databases to File Share causes access group, maintenance group, and description to be lost.

Uploading OneStream XML File Types to File Share: OneStream XML file types (for example, POV, Workflow POV, Shortcuts, Application Settings) cannot be uploaded directly to File Share.

If you encounter the error below, you must re-upload the OneStream XML file type to the application or system database, then copy or move the file to File Share.

Downloading Extensible Documents to File Share: When downloading Extensible Documents from the application and system databases directly to File Share, you must use the Download Selected File's Content File button for it to be supported in File Share. Extensible Documents downloaded using the Download Selected File button are saved in an unsupported format for File Share usage.

If you encounter an error stating that your Extensible Document is in an unsupported format, you must re-download the Extensible Document from File Explorer using the Download Selected File's Content File button.
