Using the File Upload Functionality of Azure with ThingWorx
The main steps for using a FileTransfer event to receive notifications about file uploads from Azure IoT Edge devices follow:
1. Create a blob-storage container in Azure for file uploads.
2. Link the blob-storage container to your IoT Hub in Azure ( > > > ).
3. From ThingWorx Composer, create an AzureStorageContainerFileRepository Thing and make sure that its Name is the same as the name of the corresponding Blob Storage container in Azure. As needed, you can change the Name in the Configuration page for the AzureStorageContainerFileRepository Thing.
4. Make sure that you have specified the name of the Azure Blob Storage in the configuration of the AzureIotHub Thing using the same name. The name of the Thing should match the name in Azure and the name of the AzureStorageContainerFileRepository Thing. Refer to
Step 1. Create and Configure Items in Azure IoT and
Step 5. Create Azure IoT Entities in ThingWorx Composer.
5. Upload a file from an edge device.
