#Stop Vercel Dynamically Storing Public Files

15 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)

I have a 'download' button on my app, that references a PDF file in the public directory. This works fine when run locally, however when deployed to vercel it does not.

When trying to access 'http://domain.com/FILENAME' it does not work for this file, but does work for all the other image files stored in the public folder that are used in my app.

I read that Vercel does this on purpose?

Any suggestions?

I had to set this

    "functions": {
        "api/*": {
            "includeFiles": "docs/**/*"
        }
    }
#

I'm unsure if its same for nextjs.
