Can BPM parameters of File data type be used to work with external files?
Say, I have a process and I want it to take a file from the C:/ drive and do something with that file. Can I use this data type for it?
Couldn't find any mention of this data type here: https://academy.creatio.com/docs/user/bpm_tools/business_process_setup/…

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.
Unfortunately, there is no direct opportunity to load external files in business-process. You can work with files that are already added in the attachments and notes detail or generated by the system.
We believe, that you can reach your goal by developing.
You can see materials in the communityCreatio Community, that can help you:

As you noticed, there is no information about file type parameter in Creatio Academy documentation. We will share this information with our colleagues at Creatio Academy to make changes.
We also recommend to check this documentation on Creatio Academy:
