I have some question about this system: What is the logic behind the documents? What does setting mean? If i want to use a file system, what must i to put in the path setting?

I like this module, it is very professional, good icon and good aesthetic, thank you very much.

I don't really understand your first two questions. To your 3rd question: You must specify the location in your system where the Filestore should be created. Make sure Odoo has enough rights there.

Can we use external file storage services?

Yes, why must we create a setting before. What does it mean?

keshrath commented 6 years ago

We are working on modules that allow the connection to services like Amazon S3. At the moment there are only 3 storage types (DB Blob, DB Large Obejct, Filestore)

The reason for this is that it opens up more possibilities to control different types of documents. For example, you might have a Settings object in which all attachments are stored and then want to save them on a different location or not display them in the tree. However, you still want the possibility to see your other documents.

@keshrath I know there is other pay modules that enables storage services.

Ok, more or less i understand the aim for this setup. Thank you.
