Where are the attached files kept?

Hey folks

I can't seem to find an answer for this question so perhaps a: it is very obvious, b: I'm searching for the wrong terms, or c: nobody really cares as long as it works :

I have a container field in a runtime DB where people can attach resumes in PDF format. But where are these attachments located after they are attached? Does Filemaker just assimilate them into the database somehow or does the file get put into an invisible folder somewhere?

Thanks

If you've chosen "Store only a reference to the file" in the import options, then the file is not stored in the database. Otherwise, it is.

Thanks - but how is it stored? Just as code or an actual document somewhere that I'm just not seeing?

It's physically stored as a "binary object" within the database, it's not stored externally.

Great! Thanks for the info!
