AI-generated from the code · Odoo 17.0

Lets you keep DMS documents in an external storage backend instead of inside Odoo. On a DMS storage you choose the 'Storage' save type and pick the external storage to use.

This module connects the Documents Management System (DMS) with external file storages, so document files can live outside the Odoo database while still being managed from Odoo.

On a DMS storage configuration (dms.storage) a new save type called 'Storage' is added. When that type is selected, a new field for the external storage backend (fs.storage) becomes visible and is required; it stays hidden for the other save types.

When a document file (dms.file) is saved into a storage configured with the 'Storage' save type, the file content is written to the chosen external storage backend using the document's path and name. The file record then remembers the path used and which backend holds it. If the same file is saved again, the previous copy in the external storage is removed before the new one is added, so no stale files are left behind.

When the content of such a file is read, Odoo fetches it back from the external storage backend instead of from the database. Files stored with the other save types keep working as before.

Everything is configured from the existing DMS storage form; no new menu is added.
