How it Works

Computerisms Online File Storage is a method of storing files on the Web Server so they can be accessed from multiple locations
- When configured correctly, the storage area can be used as a drive letter on your windows computer or it is mounted in your file system if you use linux or a mac.
- The storage area can also be accessed via a browser at https://files.domain.tld
- Your email address and password are required to access the files by either method
This service is using the WebDAV protocol; you should be able to use any client that supports WebDAV
This service would be useful for an organization that needs the functionality of a fully accessible file server outside the office.

What are the limits

Each Hosting Customer is assigned a user account with a quota
Initial Quota value is to send a warning email when storage exceeds 10 GB, and deny storage that will exceed 12 GB
- This value includes all content from all services under your user account, including your Web Site and any files being stored by the Fetch service
  - If you access your FTP account, the contents of all folders you see will be counted towards your quota
If you require extra space, we have some flexibility to work with you, please contact us to discuss options

A word about Security

There is only one storage area
- The storage area can be accessed by anybody with an email address in your organization
You may make any number of folders in the storage area
- You may not deny access of any folder to any users, there is no permissions scheme.
