- ⁶ This feature allows you to embed a link to a PDF from the backend storage within NetSuite and have it displayed directly in NetSuite. Generally, object-based storage solutions support this capability, while consumer-based storage solutions usually do not. It's worth noting that for backend storage solutions lacking this support, the file can still be opened and viewed in a new browser tab using its link. However, it cannot be embedded and viewed directly within the NetSuite interface.
- ⁷ This feature allows for higher performance file uploads by uploading directly from a client device (e.g., a browser or mobile app) to file storage, bypassing the server hosting the application.
- ⁸ This is the ability to generate a signed or shared link that can be accessed by those outside of NetSuite and who aren't authenticated with either NetSuite or the selected backend storage.
