Map directories into user spaces with virtual folders

A virtual folder maps any directory, or any cloud bucket path, into a user's namespace under a name you choose. Open the WebAdmin UI, open Virtual Folders, and add one: give it a name, choose the backing path, and then include it in one or more users with separate read or write permissions per user.

This is how partner drop zones are built. Each partner user sees only the folders you map for them, on storage you control, while your side reads every drop from one place. The same mechanism can expose one bucket path to several partners with different permissions, or keep two partners apart on the same instance.

Folders can be backed by the local instance storage or by an S3-compatible, Azure Blob, or Google Cloud Storage path. A user's home directory and their virtual folders can use different backends in the same account.
