n8n sample doesn't support external file storage #620

Description

@raphaeltm

n8n allows for file uploads and it can produce files that a user may need to keep. At the moment those files are stored in the n8n container which has an ephemeral file system.

Self-hosted n8n does allow for external object storage like S3 though. We should either:

  • explain they can't expect file uploads to persist
  • point them towards S3 or GCP Cloud Storage
  • point them towards a simple, free alternative like https://www.tigrisdata.com/
