Spaces & Shares

External location​

As an administrator, it is possible to add an external location from the file system.
An external location corresponds to an existing directory on the server that can be directly integrated into the platform,
making it accessible through a share or a space as an anchored file.

usersusers

When creating or editing a share or a space, a button is available to select a directory to attach:

  • from a space in the Files tab
  • from a share in the Settings tab

When adding the directory, the system automatically checks the permissions.

warning

The user running the server process must have read and write permissions on the chosen directory.
Always check the directory permissions before adding it.

If the permissions are correct, the directory is then associated with the share or space as an anchored file.
