Shared storage• Connections Docs shared storage is used by each of the Connections Docs components to store

drafts or transfer files between servers. There are three shares that need to be configured for Connections Docs.

• The Connections Docs and Conversion components share storage for the editing and publishing of documents. This shared storage is supported for either NFSv3 or CIFS (SMB). This share is referred to as DOCS DATA.

• The File Viewer and Conversion components share storage for the viewing of documents. If File Viewer and Conversion are installed on the same server, this storage can be local. If they are installed on different servers, this shared storage is supported for either NFSv3 or CIFS (SMB). This share is referred to as VIEWER DATA.

• The File Viewer and Connections Files components share storage for the viewing of documents. If File Viewer and Connections Files are installed on the same server, this storage can be local. If they are installed on different servers, this shared storage is supported for either NFS or CIFS (SMB). This share is referred to as the Connections Files Content Store.
