FileStorage action - Get file contents

FILE AND DIRECTORY ACCESS

Currently, all users in a workspace can access all FileStorage files and directories in the workspace when they use the FileStorage connector. Workato does not restrict access based on role unless the files are accessed from the FileStorage UI.

This action returns the contents of a file stored in Workato FileStorage. Like the Create file and Append file actions, you can pair this action with streaming or non-streaming upload and bulk actions.
