Hi All, We have a usecase where a customer is putting XML files in a specific folder. We can easily pull these files in Tulip with a ‘open link’ and then the URL of the path. However, we want this to be embedded in Tulip and to not have a link to a notepadd ++ or another file. Can we create something to mimic the behaviour of this Filedrop like a connector? Or am I missing something in the current connectors to handle this? Thanks! Quintijn ---

Are they local files or on a service like Onedrive or dropbox? ---

This has yet to be discussed. If there is a solution for dropbox Or Onedrive I’m happy to explore that and propose to the customer. ---

If it’s on a web-based service, you could possibly use the webpage widget in an app. But the security settings will need to allow for the url to be shared/embedded. If the file is local, you could use node-red to get the file data as a variable in the app. Is your goal to just view the data in the xml or use it in part of the workflow/manipulate it? ---

Should be to only view it, to build some digital workinstructions with the variables in the XML. NodeRed seems indeed a good solution. Thanks! ---

I was able to embed an XML file in an app using the webpage widget. We use Onedrive. ---

> [@jjj](#): > > use Onedriv Can you elaborate on the solution? The variable/Fixed url you give is the onedrive path? I tried it quickly and could not seem to get this working. ---

This is the url you will need from your file in onedrive. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/a/a39cee0df2d1b2ba733a24136b4b533d9bb84845.png) Since we have a unique set of files for each image, i get the UniqueID via a powerautomate flow. That uniqueID is then put into a tulip table and the url input to the webpage widget is built like this. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/8/833a17db6ceda98b7765409139af844219f16cd2.png) In our case, the floor users have to have access to the sharepoint folder that the files are in. ---

Were you able to get a solution that worked for you? ---

Yes, We’ve figured out a way to make it work. Thanks!
