Fluix built-in cloud storage makes it easy for you to organize and manage documents in your department or entire organization. You can use Fluix storage in the workflows both as a document source for templates and as a destination place for submitted documents.
Fluix storage is managed directly via Fluix Admin Portal under the Configuration section.
To start with, you can use the template forms in the Fluix Library of Templates folder or upload your own documents that will be later used in the workflows and circulate between users.
How to Upload and Manage Documents
To upload your own files click on the Upload Files button in the top right corner or simply drag & drop them from your computer.
To build your folder structure create different folders with the New Folder button in the top right corner.
Please, note that upon folder renaming its modification date will be changed accordingly, along with modification date of other folders and files inside the renamed folder.
The maximum allowed file size is 400MB. If a file exceeds maximum allowed size limit (400 MB), it will not get synced to the users’ app.
How to Restore Deleted Documents
Click on the Show Deleted button to see the documents that were deleted either by the admin or user. The deleted documents will appear in the list with the tag Deleted. To restore the deleted document, select it and click Restore. You can also delete it permanently:
The deleted documents are stored on the Amazon servers for a number of days, configured in the Security Settings of your account (under the Configuration section). By default the deleted documents are stored during 365 days. Caution: permanently deleted document can not be restored.
Access to Storage
The access to the Fluix Storage is regulated in the Roles tab under the Configuration section. Simply add a New Role -> select Storage Manager from the list -> select a user -> choose whether the user will have access to the entire storage or just particular folders, also check the actions the user will be authorized to take and save changes.
The users, provided with the rights above will be able to access Fluix Storage by logging into Fluix browser version at fluix.io.

File naming convention is a framework that adds automatic naming to the documents, which your field team works with on their devices. The key benefit of this feature is the unified way of file names across all documentation.
Here’s how you can add a file naming convention in Fluix:
1. In Fluix Admin Portal go to the Fluix Storage tab on the Configuration section.
If the document is already in the Fluix storage, select it and choose Naming Convention. If you need to upload a new document first, click on Naming Convention on the top menu and upload a PDF form you want to add a naming convention to.
2. In the open document, you will see a list of preset field names that are commonly used to create file naming, and the list of all other document fields. Select the ones you want to be used in the file name.
3. When done, click Save Changes and choose to either save the document in Fluix Storage or download it right to your computer.
4. Upload the document to a folder that is used as a source in a workflow.
From now on, your field workers can use this document as a template form on their devices. Each time they fill out fields that are used in the naming convention, the document name will be changed automatically. If a user tries to manually rename the document before submitting it, the error message appears saying, ‘You’re not allowed to rename this file due to company policy, please contact your Fluix admin for more details if needed’.

Fluix Built-in Storage uses Amazon S3 to store the files. Amazon S3 redundantly stores your objects on multiple devices across multiple facilities in an Amazon S3 Region. The service is designed to sustain concurrent device failures by quickly detecting and repairing any lost redundancy. Amazon S3 also regularly verifies the integrity of your data using checksums. Storage meta-data is stored in Fluix databases. Fluix databases are backed up nightly and the backup is reliably stored for the two weeks.
Security
Fluix Storage Service uses 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption for data at rest. The storage employs strong multi-factor encryption. Each document is encrypted using a unique key. As an additional safeguard, the key itself is encrypted with a master key, which is rotated regularly. All requests to storage service need to be signed by the Application Service.
