External Storage - Document Attachments

The external document attachments feature helps you manage document attachments more efficiently by storing them in external systems such as SharePoint or Azure storage instead of the Business Central database. By offloading large or frequently used files, organizations can keep their environments performant, reduce storage growth, and better control costs without changing how users work with documents. You get improved scalability and flexibility, especially in document‑heavy processes like invoicing, purchasing, and project management. Documents are fully accessible from Business Central, while IT teams gain more control over storage and retention using familiar external platforms.
