Applications address a file by its name and the name of the binary store component. The runtime streams file content between the application and the component instead of wrapping it in a JSON value. This avoids an additional full-file buffer in the runtime, although the selected component may buffer content or enforce its own size limits.</p>https://docs.dapr.io/developing-applications/building-blocks/binarystore/howto-use-binary-store/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://docs.dapr.io/developing-applications/building-blocks/binarystore/howto-use-binary-store/<p>This guide shows how to configure a binary store component and use the Dapr HTTP API or .NET SDK to upload, retrieve, and delete a file.
