Folder Naming Standard

  1. Create a single folder or multi-level folders. A slash (/) indicates the creation of multi-level folders.
  2. The folder name cannot start or end with a slash (/).
  3. It cannot contain two or more adjacent slashes (/).
  4. Applicable to all access types.
Note
  • If the entered folder does not exist, the system will create it directly, and the data will still be stored in that path.
  • Be cautious when changing the storage path. Due to a delay of about 5 minutes in updating the configuration, some data may still be forwarded to the original directory after the change.
