The default system content service stores files in the My webMethods Server database. You cannot modify the system content service configuration.

If users of My webMethods Server will store large files (1 MB or larger) or a large number of files, the system content service may not be adequate for your file storage needs. In such cases, you should use a network content service to provide higher capacity. My webMethods Server supports network file storage by means of a file system content service, which requires a file share.

On Windows, the file system content service uses a UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) path to connect to a network file storage device. On UNIX, the network file storage must be mounted as a local resource. To support cluster high availability, the network file storage device should have failover support.

For information on configuring a network content service, see Managing Content Storage.
