View and manage storage disks

Storage & Uploads
Storage & Uploads is where files physically live: the disks, whether they are local or remote, and the upload handling every other module shares.

Before you start
- A decision on local versus remote storage, taken before there is a terabyte to move.
What Storage & Uploads does
Where files physically live.
Choose local or remote back-ends
Both are supported. The choice is usually about where the data must sit rather than about capacity.
Rely on shared upload handling
Every module uploads through the same code, which is why a rule about what may be uploaded is one rule rather than forty-three.
What it claims to do
The capability list this guide is written against, unabridged. Nothing above adds to it.

- Local or remote back-ends
- Upload handling shared by every module
Where it connects
The modules Storage & Uploads hands work to, or takes it from. Most problems that look like one module are a handover between two.
