Integrating with file and content management systems File and content storage File and content storage
You can control where case and Pulse attachments are stored and sourced for your application. There are different types of content storage types that you can use. The storage type is based on the content storage vendor that your business uses, your expected file size, and the number of concurrent uploads/downloads.

You can control where case and Pulse attachments are stored and sourced for your application. There are different types of content storage types that you can use. The storage type is based on the content storage vendor that your business uses, your expected file size, and the number of concurrent uploads/downloads.
The following types of content storage are supported:
- Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) systems
- External systems that use the CMIS standard, such as Alfresco, Microsoft SharePoint, and OpenText, to which you connect by using a CMIS connect rule. CMIS systems support storing and sourcing content. For more information, see About Connect CMIS rules.
- Web storage
- Storage to which you connect by using an account and credentials from a web storage provider, such as Box or SharePoint Online. Online repositories support storing and sourcing content. In addition, you can use web storage APIs to interact with the online repository outside of case and Pulse attachments. For more information, see Adding case attachments from external content locations.
- Repositories
- Storage to which you connect by using a repository rule and relevant role. This category includes the pegacloudfilestorage record, which is the default location for Pega Cloud attachments. Repositories are the only supported content storage type that supports streaming and that have no risk of running out of memory.
Please see the below articles on the use of File and content storage.

If you just want to store PDF, then you can take the below steps:
1. you can write a function that creates a folder at the server level and then [java code //please handle the exception too]
java.io.FileOutputStream fos=null;
String dirPath= tempDir+"/"+ Name;
java.io.File tmpDir = new java.io.File(dirPath);
try { if(!tmpDir.exists()) // Creates folder if does not exist { new java.io.File(dirPath).mkdir(); oLog.infoForced("Create directory: " + dirPath); } return dirPath; }
2. you can use Connect-File to upload the PDF.
