Explanation

Persistent Storage of Files

To provide a seamless experience, our screenshot app demonstrates how to persistently store files. This means that even if the application is restarted, previous screenshots will be stored.

File Provider

To access files the back-end exposes a route via FileProvider to serve static files.
