.. include:: /Includes.rst.txt .. index:: File abstraction layer; Folders .. _architecture-folders: ======= Folders ======= The actual storage structure depends on which :ref:`driver ` each :ref:`storage ` is based on. When using the local file system driver provided by the TYPO3 Core, a storage will correspond to some existing folder on the local storage system (for example, on the hard drive). Other drivers may use virtual structures. By default, a storage pointing to the :file:`fileadmin/` folder is created automatically in every TYPO3 installation. .. index:: File abstraction layer; Processed files .. _fal-architecture-folders-processed-files: Processed files =============== Inside each storage there will be a folder named :file:`_processed_/` which contains all resized images, be they rendered in the frontend or thumbnails from the backend. The name of this folder is not hard-coded. It can be defined as a property of the storage. It may even point to a different storage. .. include:: /Images/AutomaticScreenshots/Fal/AdministrationFileStorageAccessTab.rst.txt
