Run a workflow on a public gallery with temp files

[FaresBader]

Hi everyone, 

So I have been developing some apps lately and executing them on the gallery (https://gallery.alteryx.com --  private studio) with no problem. Except that this time I have some difficulties.

In this app, new sheets will be added to an already elaborated excel file with dynamic arrays in it and graphs, etc. and I have no problem executing this app locally on my PC. But when I run it on the gallery, I need to save the excel file somewhere, retrieve it and modify it by adding new sheets. and only then the output will be ready.

My question is, is there a way to save temporary files when running a workflow on the gallery ? Is there a directory I can use when executing a workflow on the gallery to save files in it and retrieve them during the execution ?

Thank you,

Are you using the public gallery? I don't think that you can save into the public gallery because you will need to do a batch to read this files and batch is not permitted into public server.
