# FileStorage trigger - New file (real time)

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 trigger is initiated immediately, in real time, when a new file is created or uploaded to a specified directory in Workato FileStorage. The trigger can be paired with both streaming and non-streaming actions (for small volume data).
