Folder Naming Standards

  1. Create single folders and multi-level folders, where a slash (/) indicates creating multi-level folders.
  2. Folder names cannot start or end with a slash (/).
  3. Cannot contain more than two adjacent slashes (/).
  4. Applies to all access types.
Note
  • If the entered folder does not exist, the system will create it directly, and data will still be stored under this path.
  • Be cautious when changing the storage path, as updating configurations may have a delay of about 5 minutes, and some data might still be forwarded to the original directory after changes.
