Hi everyone,

I'm working on a use case where I want to store uploaded files coming from the document.manage model within the same server — without using S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage, or any other external storage providers.

The requirement is to configure the storage location (path or directory) through a server-side configuration setting in Odoo, so that the file uploads are saved directly to a specified folder on the same server where Odoo is hosted.

If anyone has done something similar or can guide on the best practices for implementing this kind of local file storage in Odoo, I'd really appreciate the insights.

Thanks in advance!

We implemented custom file storage in Odoo by allowing users to define a local path through system settings. When a document is uploaded, it's saved to the specified path on the server using standard Python file handling:

os.makedirs(storage_path, exist_ok=True)

full_path = os.path.join(storage_path, filename)

with open(full_path, 'wb') as f:

    f.write(base64.b64decode(file_data))


This ensures documents are stored outside Odoo’s default filestore, giving more control over file organization and backup.
Thank You.
