Set Up Document Storage

Refer to the Help topic Roles, Users, and Permissions for information about the permission sets required for working with assisted setup and data import in EAM-BC.

You have three storage options regarding documents:

  • Embedded: Select this option if you use small files. Files are saved in D365BC.
  • Azure Blob Storage: Select this option if you use large files. This option requires a blob storage account in Microsoft® Azure®. Additional costs are related to setting up a blob storage account.
  • SharePoint: Select this option if you want to use a connection between Business Central and your SharePoint storage. You will be able to upload files directly from and to SharePoint.

Refer to Microsoft documentation regarding storage account options in Azure: Storage account overview.
