The File Store worker encrypts and stores files, and provides an HTTP/JSONRPC interface to retrieve, update, and delete them. External sources may 'reference' a file, allowing the File Store to safely manage external dependencies when performing delete operations.
There's a more detailed look at how the platform handles file uploads in the Handling File Uploads Knowledge Base article.

The following properties can be set in the configuration file sent to the API Server.
| Property | Type | Comments |

| mediaStorageDirName | String | Defaults to "WkFileStore_storageDir" |
| mediaStorageRootPath | String (Dir. Path) | Defaults to the iCM media directory mediaStorageRootPath and mediaStorageDirName are combined to form the full path to the root media directory used by this worker to store files |
| secureReferenceDefaultValidity | Integer | For how long after generation a secure reference will be valid (in minutes). Defaults to 120 |
