Hey @Emmanuel any update on a workflow to upload a file to the root directory? ---

[appdomainurl.com/rootfilename](http://appdomainurl.com/rootfilename) Is this not possible? AWS seems to be the storage for the root file? Looks like a dead end… although I’m usually missing something. @emmanuel congrats on the funding by the way. So glad to be a part of what you are doing. NOTE: it works. The file name needs to include the .extension Dogecoin is next. @BillyM2k on twitter and @bubble should be super community friends. 🙂 ---

@serviluvapp You need to do [Https://domain/.filename](Https://domain/.filename) ---

Hi, any update on workflow or api access to root directory? The app I’m building needs to be able to server an xml file, which ideally gets updated/overwritten via the above workflows/api access. Thanks! ---

I’m also here hoping for workflow/API access to the root dir files. I need to automatically update our sitemap via a workflow. I can’t use the sitemap configuration in the settings because we have some hacky urls in the app. ---

@chris.williamson1996 Facing the same problem, the file is viable under AWS’s original domain, but not my domain. I’ve included .extension. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/a/a/aa4da3bdeaaad00ddf40b2bf162524507692980b.png) ---

[https://domain/.filename](https://domain/.filename) It’s important to have period before the name of the file. ---

Problem solved, thanks Chris! The key takeaways are: 1. `filename` is not a comment but will actually be used in the URL, so avoid using non-Latin letters and **using the original file name is recommended**. ![screenshot|filename](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/f/2/f2809fbac22a474173cfda9477899f34e5c1d8a5.png) 2. No need for period before the `filename`, but do pay attention to **development/live versioning** , as it matters to your file URL. ![screenshot|development](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/8/8/889164070ed736b345beec3e94d374d7d3e12584.png) ![screenshot|live](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/c/a/ca5e4872953d13396bc21795a939de204f2ebadb.png) ---

Hi Guys, Here’s what I put in the settings: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/4/9/4913924bf39bdb68644316513fcb4f0f2f15af66.png) I’ve tried accessing this file at [mydomain.com/Podgenie.xml](http://mydomain.com/Podgenie.xml) and [mydomain.com/PodGenie\_v2/Podgenie.xml](http://mydomain.com/PodGenie_v2/Podgenie.xml) and I get errors with both methods. Ideas? ---

@emmanuel Don’t forget about us, accessing the root directory via workflow or api is very important for many of us. Are there any plans to have this feature available? Thanks a lot for your great work! ---
