## Read/Write Files from Disk in Duaer

Read/Write Files from Disk is a built-in core node in Duaer for data or flow control. It usually does not need an external SaaS credential.

The product’s node note is: Read or write files from the computer that runs Duaer.

## Credentials and parameters

Most core nodes do not need an external credential. If the node still asks for one, create it from the fields it shows.

Parameters accept expressions. Tool parameters that an AI Agent should fill use $fromAI. When a run fails, read the error on the node output first.
## Questions

### How do you add Read/Write Files from Disk to a Duaer digital organization?

Open the node panel on the Duaer canvas, search for Read/Write Files from Disk, and drop it onto the digital organization. Connect it after a trigger or a previous node.

### What should you check first when Read/Write Files from Disk fails in Duaer?

Read the error text on that node’s output, then confirm the credential still works and required parameters are filled. For app nodes, also check permissions and quota on the provider side.
