File and blob restrictions¶

To ensure the security and quality of our file storage, we have implemented policies on the storage account API to restrict certain files.

File Retention¶

Files stored inside the payload manager storage accounts will be kept for a standard of 8 days from creation. This is per our Kafka message retention policy of 7 days + 1.

File type restriction¶

To limit potentially dangerous files, we keep a whitelist of allowed file types listed in the table below. If you need to upload a file type not in this list, please contact the integration team.

File Size Restriction¶

We currently limit each request towards storage to 100 mb per request. This is a limit set to ensure only reasonably large files are uploaded to the storage account. When uploading larger files, they have to be uploaded in multiple blocks.

File name restrictions¶

To prevent path traversal, other dangers, and programmatic errors, we have put restrictions on names allowed to be uploaded to the storage account. This restriction follows the regex [a-zA-Z0-9.-].
