Where file is stored

ywane_ — Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:45:21 GMT

Hello, I am a new user of Nuxeo. I know that all metadata of a document is stored in the database, but can't you say me where the document (forexample toto.pdf) is physically stored ? My need is to copy in a disk, all the physical document added in Nuxeo. Thank's and sorry for my bad english.

hi, all the files are stored in the C:/ProgramData/Nuxeo/data folder (programData is hidden, so you need to put visible in the options folder) but they are encripted, you can´t know where is your file toto.pdf

my sugestion to copy all the documents to a disk is in the slow mode, download all the files from nuxeo one by one.

hope that help you.

hi, file are not encypted by default but their name is changed to their hash (MD5 by default but can be changed).

Thank's @german1 and @Damien Metzler for help. I found the place where it is stored for me : nuxeo-cap-5.8/nxserver/data/binaries/data . Files name is changed by their hash. Just to know,

it'is possible to store file with their real name and extension ?
where can we change the hash mode ?

I check nuxeo.conf but i dont see nothing like this.

Sorry for the mistake. It was meant to be customizable but in fact it doesn't seem so.
