Storage
After running Files app for the first time, a folder _files
will get created, used to store cache, config and optional include files. The _files
folder is purposely excluded and not visible from the Files app view. By default, the following will get created:
# ROOT
├── cache
│ └── folders
│ └── images
│ └── menu
├── config
│ └── config.php
However, with several additional options, it could look like this:
# ROOT
├── config
│ └── config.php
├── cache
│ └── folders
│ └── images
│ └── menu
├── css
│ └── custom.css
├── include
│ └── head.html
├── js
│ └── custom.js
├── plugins
│ └── tasks.php
├── zip
Change storage path
You can change the storage path from config options storage_path
by default set to _files
subfolder. You won't normally need to change the storage path, but it might be useful if you want to share image resize cache with other Files app installations, or if you don't want to store anything in the folder where Files app exists, or if you want to move storage outside of the server's web root.
