FileCloud Managed Storage

Data that is stored locally in FileCloud is called Managed Storage.

  • Managed Storage is the location where the user files are stored locally and can be accessed directly by FileCloud. 
  • When you specify the path to managed storage, you give FileCloud control over the management of the user content located there. 
  • Managed Storage can be a file system, a local hard disk, a Storage Area Network (SAN), or a Network Attached Storage (NAS) disk.

(lightbulb) Administrators can also configure how users store data on your existing Network infrastructure.

Setting Up Network Folders

Managed storage setup must be done BEFORE users are created.

If users are already created and Managed Storage type or location is changed, then the existing users will no longer be able to access or store data, and their accounts will have to be deleted and recreated.
