FileStorage action - Search files

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 searches directories and subdirectories in Workato FileStorage and returns a list of files with names that match a specified condition. This is useful for grouping and processing files. The action supports pagination to retrieve large lists of files.

If you select a directory but do not specify a condition to match, the action lists all files under a directory and its subdirectories.
