    <summary type="html">&lt;blockquote&gt;Omkar KhandareI want to configure custom directory structure into to the Document Library.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Found that Advanced File Store can be used in such cases but unable to see exact steps for version 7.0.6 with Glassfish 4 server.&lt;br /&gt;I have updated folder path into Configuration -&amp;gt; System Seetings -&amp;gt; Collaboration - &amp;gt; Document Library and Rebuild restarted the server.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can any one provide help on this and exact way of configuring any network folder structure or folder from Liferay Server itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;What does &amp;#34;configure&amp;#34; mean? You can configure where Liferay stores the data. If you configure AdvancedFileSystemStore, that store&amp;#39;s implementation will store the data in the format that it uses. The format is an implementation detail of AdvancedFileSystemStore. Other than the root directory, there&amp;#39;s nothing to configure.&lt;br /&gt;If you&amp;#39;d like to change the directory structure beneath the root folder, create your own store implementation.&lt;br /&gt;Beware: If you do that in order to be able to open the documents from other applications: Don&amp;#39;t! You&amp;#39;d risk to change documents outside of Liferay, thus you&amp;#39;ll end up with all kinds of unexpected behavior. Not only am I talking about File Locks, but also documents that are not properly indexed, documents that are in the file system but not in the metadata in Liferay&amp;#39;s document library (e.g. tags, categories, author etc).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to move an existing repository, you can&amp;#39;t just change the directory name in the configuration: First you&amp;#39;ll need to make sure that the new location has exactly the same data that you&amp;#39;d expect there.</summary>
