File Payload

A file payload allows you to push files to Android devices for access by applications on the device. If the payload's file is deleted from the device while the payload is still applied, it is restored the next time the device syncs with Avalanche. Multiple file payloads can be applied to a profile. When files are deployed to an Android device, they will also display on that device's Device Details screen as device properties.

Files distributed with this payload can be hosted in the Central File Store. For information about managing files with the Central File Store, see Using the Central File Store.

Android

Payload Name	The name of the payload.
Type	Determines if the file is being added/updated or deleted from the device.
File Path	The path on the device where the file will be saved to or deleted from. If this field is empty, the file will be placed in the device's default location. Device default locations: •Motorola devices. By default, the file is placed in the /Enterprise/Usr folder. •Datalogic devices. By default, the file is placed in the /Enterprise folder. •All other Android devices. By default, the file is placed on the external SD card. If an external SD card cannot be found, the file is not sent to the device.

Android Enterprise

To remove a file sent with an Android Enterprise file payload from a device, remove the payload from the smart device profile.

Payload Name	The name of the payload.
File Path	The path on the device where the file is saved. If this field is empty, the file is placed in the device's root storage. The location entered here will be appended to the root of the device's storage. For example, entering com.wavelink.velocity for the file path creates a folder of the same name in the root storage, and then the selected file is placed within that folder. Folders can be nested.
File	The file that will be delivered to the device. Click the Browse to select the file in the Central File Store. For more information about the Central File Store, see Using the Central File Store.
Generate Velocity console import URL	Use Avalanche to distribute Velocity configuration files to your Android devices. For more information, see Distributing Velocity Configurations. This feature does not work with Android 10 devices. For information about distributing Velocity configurations to Android 10 devices, see Distributing Velocity Configuration Manifests.
