Details

Filr provides its users with file access through

  • Net Folders, which are similar to traditional network mapped drives

    And

  • My Files, which can include both traditional home directories and also Filr-based storage.

Net Folders point to file servers and/or network-based storage.

My Files can also point to file servers and/or network-based storage when these include traditional home directories.

If the Personal Storage feature is enabled, My Files also provides access to personal files and folders that are stored in Filr itself.

NOTE:Supported file servers and network storage devices are listed on Worksheet 6 and in File Servers (Backend Storage) in the Filr 5.0: Installation, Deployment, and Upgrade Guide.
