Storage Settings

WHMCS includes settings to control storage for various types of files.

You can access this feature at Configuration () > System Settings > Storage Settings.

The Settings tab allows you to select storage locations for:

  • Client Files

Configurations

Configurations

The Configurations tab lets you test, duplicate, configure, and delete your individual storage locations. You can also add new storage configurations.

Amazon S3™ storage locations must have the required access credentials. For more information, see Set Up an Amazon S3 Bucket.

Existing Storage

For existing storage locations:

  • Click the play icon to test the storage location.
  • Click the copy icon to duplicate the storage location.
  • Click the gear icon to update the storage configuration.
  • Click the X icon to delete the storage location.
    You cannot delete storage locations that are currently in use.

Add New Configuration

To add a new storage configuration:

  1. Choose a type of storage from the menu and click the + icon.
  2. Enter the requested information.
  3. Click Save Changes.

We recommend dividing the file types between storage locations with the following organization:

File TypeDirectory
Client Files/attachments
Downloads/downloads
Email Attachments/attachments
Email Template Attachments/downloads
Project Management Files/attachments/projects
Ticket Attachments/attachments

Migrating to a New Storage Location

You may want to migrate files from one local storage location to another or from an existing storage location to an Amazon S3 bucket or a compatible service.
