Coupling attachments/files to the database in a portable way.

I'm a little confused by the pricing. 10 GB/month means I'm allotted 10 total GB of storage?

Coupling attachments/files to the database in a portable way.

I'd trust a company to do a better job storing and securing random files than my own dumb ass at least, as long as they have some sort of API interop

Coupling attachments/files to the database in a portable way.

I'll look into backblaze, maybe. I'm talking like...between 5-10 attachments being created a month, and most are less than 10mb, some are even less than 1mb

Coupling attachments/files to the database in a portable way.

The issue is that if I'm developing on device A and deploying to device B, I'd then have to copy the file state between devices each time or if I were debugging an issue (A), I'd have to copy all data from device B in case it is related to the file storage

but...this will be a char[] and not string[] which is probably not what you want?

.ToCharArray() is probably the simplest way to do it

you could cast it to IDisposable first and then dispose it, some classes hide their implementation of Dispose for one reason or another

Is there a standard option to generate UUID version 7? (Guid)

it's not available in the BCL yet and probably won't be for awhile if ever just to avoid confusion over multiple potentially conflicting UUID types

input file error

string xString = nextItem[0];
uint x = Convert.ToUInt32(xString);
string yString = nextItem[1];
uint y = Convert.ToUInt32(yString);
string zString = reader.ReadLine();
uint z = Convert.ToUInt32(zString);

string xString = nextItem[0];
uint x = Convert.ToUInt32(xString);
string yString = nextItem[1];
uint y = Convert.ToUInt32(yString);
string zString = reader.ReadLine();
uint z = Convert.ToUInt32(zString);

assuming all your inputs are strings

input file error

two things: 1. it's better practice to use uint.(Try)Parse than Convert methods - those are older mostly reserved for legacy purposes 2. it doesn't hurt to separate the assignment and conversion so you can more easily see what the "input" is - if it's not the right format, it's not the right format, so you may need to find out why

Serving static files via a Web API (REST)

I'm unsure why asp.net works in this way...maybe there's a more robust solution for what you're trying to do - what's your end goal - determining the physical file location to save files in? Is Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() sufficient for your needs?

OK I finally reproduced the issue. The API template you use doesn't create a wwwroot folder, which is why you get a NullFileProvider. If you add a wwwroot folder (it can be empty), you'll have a PhysicalFileProvider.
