QV10 Server: What is difference between Root Folder and Mounted Folders?

[stevedark · Accepted solution]

A mounted folder is simply a pointer to a location where you have QVWs that you wish to have available in AccessPoint.

They are useful as you can have files logically located differently to where they are physically located.  Another useful feature is that you can hide a mounted folder, or remove it quickly - without changing the underlying files.  You can then just re-mount when you want to bring things back.

Generally I point Root to an empty folder and put nothing in there.  Any files shown through AccessPoint are there by virtue of a mounted folder.

Hope that helps,

Steve
