Azure Object Storage + Mendix

1
For a current project we want to implement the Azure Object Storage for document sharing. We were wondering if someone already has experience with implementing this outside of the business server? Our requirements so far are: A widget/plugin we can implement in the front-end of the application that uploads the document to Azure straightaway without uploading the file to the business server It should include security used by Azure The security (key) should be obtained by the Mendix Business Server and passed presumably to a widget   We know there are already certain implementations using Amazon AWS S3 storage, but we favor Azure :) Thanks in Advance

I think using the mendix buildpack for Cloud Foundry it should be possible to use an Azure Blob store as your central blob store.

You can configure the runtime to use Azure blob storage to save your file documents: https://forum.mendix.com/link/questions/85571

You can use Server side encryption to encrypt File Documents in azure, client side encryption (handled by the business server) is currently not supported.

You could create a widget to directly upload to Azure, but there is no support for this in mendix.
