    Hello @Krithick Kalyan T ,

    welcome to this moderated Azure community forum.

    This is basically the same question as seen here.

    Basically, uploading a file to an Azure IoT (Edge) device is not supported out of the box.

    If the file is very tiny or you are willing to send it in many parts, you could try using the IoT Central equivalent of the Module twin Direct Methods or the Module twin desired properties.

    Still you need to write custom logic within the module to handle the (file (parts)) input.

    Using the IoT Central interface will not really solve your problem.
