The filestore is where Artifactory physically stores the binaries. Artifactory uses the filestore in conjunction with the database to manage binary storage. For more information on database, see Common Resources.
You can manage filestore through the binarystore.xml
configuration file located in the $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory
folder. You can modify this file to implement a variety of storage configurations including basic and customizable local and network-based file-systems, cloud storage, and redundant storage.
In addition to using different storage providers, you can also chain a series of storage providers together to build complex and scalable binary storage setups.
