Setting Description Default
Settings
Quota (Mb): Maximum per user storage capacity
Use database to store userfiles: MySQL database is used to store the files. This will be necessary if your host does not support file storage, but if there are many users there could be a performance impact
Use a directory to store userfiles: Store files directly in a host directory. Gives better performance than the database option, but you will need to backup that directory separately
Path: Relative or absolute path to the User Files storage directory
Unable to load the jQuery Sortable Tables feature.
