Here is what I did, I tried moving my content store and contentstore.deleted from alfresco installation path to a new network location. I modified my global.properties like this.dir.root=C:/Alfresco/alf_datadir.contentstore=//server1/c/contentstore/contentstoredir.contentstore.deleted=//server1/c/co

(Initially I added permission to the folder alone in server and it was not working) and then I added permission to the drive (the drive in which the folder is located that is C drive)and I am able to solve.

But why tomcat is not able to read the shared folder directly? How to read the shared folder directly without giving permission to the entire drive

Sorry - just read your inital posting again. You can't use a UNC path like //server1/c/contentstore/contentstore
dir.contentstore.

Needs to be a windows/Dos path. So you need to mount your remote filesystem before starting alfresco.

I tried that, I copied the two folder in C:/alf_data in server. I then mounted the location \\server\C\alf_data in my machine it mounted as Z drive then in the global property file I changed as

dir.contentstore=Z:/contentstore
dir.contentstore.deleted=Z:/contentstore.deleted
dir.root=C:/Alfresco/alf_data‍‍‍

But still it is not working

Well it should work.

What errors are you seeing in your log files?

The file system is different will it cause any issue? Do I need to enable cifs?

Well I am planning not to use network drive but to store in the same machine. Is 40 gb disk space enough if I have files of 15 gb.I wont be adding any new few files. I will be creating only sites and discussion. Will it cause any performance issue if the files are stored in the same location as the installation path. What happens in the long run?
