# Get File Content

Get File Content.

The Files module provides cloud storage and file management — upload, download, access control, metadata, and CDN-backed delivery. Files can be referenced from Database records and follow the same identity and permission rules as the rest of the project. This method returns a single file content by id.

This method is on the runtime **API** surface (`norbix.api.files`) — call it from your app.

{% hint style="info" %}
These examples assume the SDK is installed and your credentials are set as environment variables — each client reads them automatically, so the constructors below take no arguments. See [Install a Norbix SDK](/codemash/sdks/install.md).
