This section offers a brief description of M-Files servers.
It is recommended to use UNC paths with network drives, because letters assigned to these drives may not necessarily be visible to the M-Files server; in Windows, drive letter assignments are frequently user-specific. A network drive may contain an external database for a value list, among other things. Also refer to Value Lists.
Note that, in a network, the M-Files server uses by default the identity of the computer running the M-Files server software (DOMAIN\COMPUTER$). Backup to a network drive, for example, is possible as long as the DOMAIN\COMPUTER$ Windows user, representing the server, has write permissions to this drive. In certain functions, it is possible to enter the logins that the function is to use during the procedure.
