File Repository management for Thingworx cloud instance

[Sri1]

Hi,

I am working on an interface solution between Thingworx and SAP, and have decided to communicate through csv file exchange using network shared folder.

I have successfully done this with thingworx, installed on on-premises servers. But in current scenario we are using thingworx cloud instance(9.1). 

1) I am not sure how to make SAP, access a File repository created in cloud instance in thingworx.

2) Or make the File repository created in thingworx, a network shared folder.

3) If there is any alternative, please suggest.

Regards,

Sri1

If this is PTC hosted cloud instance, then I would recommend you can utilize REST endpoint to save/load files from the FileRepository. The reason being, sharing over the network will use protocols like SMB/SAMBA, which might require the opening of additional ports/configurations from cloud security.
