15.1 Enabling Personal Storage for Users and Groups

Path: Port 8443 Filr Admin Console Management > Personal Storage > Allow LDAP Users to Have Personal Storage Area

Best Practice: Plan for whether Filr users can have files and folders stored directly on the Filr appliances’ shared storage disk:

  • Worksheet 11 - Personal Storage

Table 15-1 Using the Personal Storage (enable) dialog

Field, Option, or Button

Information and/or Action

Personal Storage dialog

Worksheet 11 - Personal Storage (Enabling Personal Storage)

  • Allow LDAP users to have personal storage area

  • Select or deselect this, depending on whether you want all users whose accounts are synchronized via LDAP to have access to personal storage in the My Files area.

    To learn more about personal storage, see My Files (Personal Storage) in the Filr 3.4: Understanding How Filr Works.

    IMPORTANT:This lets you enable personal storage for all users. Unlike some other configuration options, it is not required for personal storage to be available. Personal storage can also be enabled or disabled on a user or group basis irrespective of this setting.
