The two ways to store files on the Appway Platform are as local files stored directly in the local file system, and as cluster files which reside in a virtual directory hierarchy.

What are the benefits of using cluster files on multi-node Appway installations?

The benefits of using cluster files on multi-node Appway installations are that files are accessible on all nodes and remain available if a node fails.

In what scenarios is it beneficial to use the local file type?

It is beneficial to use the local file type when a file does not need to be accessible on all nodes, such as for large temporary email attachments to save memory space.
