Feature Request: Display warning if Umbraco Forms PreValueTextFiles are present on the filesystem

[millnut]

When moving between Shared and Dedicated resource, as part of the steps it would be good if Umbraco Cloud could show a warning and flag if there are PreValueTextFiles that are stored on the filesystem before starting the move as a safeguard.

e.g. home\site\wwwroot\umbraco\Data\UmbracoForms\PreValueTextFiles

These are stored in non-persistent storage and will be deleted when moving between resources, so displaying a warning around this will allow the user to backup these files before the move and allow them to restore after via Kudo.

Hi @millnut

Thanks for reaching out about this issue. TBH, it's an oversight in the change plan (switching between resources) operations we do on Umbraco Cloud that these files are not taken along in the process - mainly as we take everything that is in git + a few extra files.

We will add this folder to the files that need to be taken along to the new resource as well, which should resolve the issue you are seeing.
I don't have an exact ETA, but it will be fixed in an upcoming sprint from our Cloud teams.

As an aside - If you want to - and you have a blob storage account available - then you could setup your Umbraco instance to store the files directly to that blob storage account, making them available when Cloud does change plan operations, but also rechable via your local setup and possible via whatever tool you use to browse blobs - check this out if relevant:

Thanks @mikkelhm yeah we plan to look at other handling for those files.

It's great to here that those files will be picked up in future, is there a plan to create a documentation page which details which files are picked up + git for Umbraco Cloud and moving resources?
