Files API Restrictions for HIPAA and Data-Residency Orgs

Entry
JSON All of v2.1.191
EntryKind: in v2.1.191,
ImprovementsSection of the release

What changed: Attempts to use the Files API now raise an explicit error for two restricted organization types.

  • HIPAA-regulated organizations: "Files API is unavailable for HIPAA-regulated organizations"
  • Third-party provider / data-residency orgs: "Files API is unavailable on third-party providers (data-residency)"

Previously these would fail with less informative errors or unexpected behavior.

Evidence

Files API restriction checks (search for "Files API is unavailable for HIPAA-regulated organizations")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
