## Storage

Component contains a pluggable storage mechanism, which means that it is relatively easy to implement custom storage provisions. By default `DirectoryStore` based storage is used.

Currently following storage providers are available out of the box.

### DirectoryStore

This storage mechanism places files in subdirectories with names that correspond to the id of allocated slot. If required, it is possible to group all slot directories allocated by single user in a directory containing this user name.

By default there is no redundancy if this store is used in clustered environment. Every file will be stored on a single cluster node.

Available properties:

path
  Contains path to directory in which subdirectory with files will be created on the local machine. (default: `data/upload`)
group-by-user
  Configures if slots directories should be grouped in user directories. (default: false)
