MSGreenTec® Filesharing

Access files on your local network (LAN) directly from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central – even though Business Central in the cloud cannot reach into your LAN. A Windows service in your network handles the file operations and uses Business Central as a mailbox. Users pick files from released LAN folders and store them in Business Central with an expiry date, or send a Business Central file into the LAN.

Features

Get a File from the LAN

Browse released LAN folders, preview PDFs and images, select one or several files and store them in Business Central.

Send a File to the LAN

Send a stored file or a file from your device to a released LAN folder – existing files are never overwritten.

Expiry and Cleanup

Stored files carry an expiry date; retention policies and a job queue entry clean up automatically.

Agents and Root Folders

See at a glance which service is online and which LAN folders are available. Administrators can block an agent.

Safe by Design

File extension whitelist, a fixed block list, path checks and size limits – enforced in Business Central and in the service.

Permissions

Three permission sets for users, administrators and the service – least privilege, verified by tests.

Windows Service

Installation scripts, Microsoft Entra app, certificate, configuration and troubleshooting. OnPrem modes included.

API and Events for Developers

A public facade and four events let you pick files in your own extensions and attach them to any record.
