We plan to have multiple mini sites 100+ but all under same domain. Using same umbraco instance. So using Multi site setup. but not in the same way its used for language sites.
The problem is that all the users from these individual sites will upload to the same physical 'Media' folder.
Is there any way that each of the sites can have their own media folder so not just in Umbraco environment but actually on the server folder structure.
Everything seems to go into the media folder and into is own individual folder. I presume this is a type of database structure.
The reason we need seperate physical folders for each is to do with an external JS search service that is built into other sites that would sit along side the CMS.
What you can do in Umbraco CMS is that you can specify a starting node in the media library for each users in the Umbraco backoffice. Then they can see that top node, and the files and folders that are under the defined starting node.
Been looking at packages that might help with this.
It looks like i would need a module that will allow user to upload to external database rather than uploading to the media folder. Which is a real shame as love the ease that a user has linking and uploading at some time in the richtexteditor.
But also a part that is really useful about the default upload and media area is that it can be restricted by user which not sure any of the above would offer.
Multiple Media folders for multisite setup

Hi g3t and welcome to our.

Try to see this this video about users https://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/content-editor/administrative-content/users/adding-users/
I have also taken a screenshot so you can see what I am talking about.
Hope this can be a solution for you.

Thanks for the reply Dennis
I think this screen shot better explains.
So in a nut shell i'm wanting to save files into named folders rather than everything go into there own individual folder.
Is this like this because i'm using SQL express.
As you might be able to tell i have very little knowledge about backend and databases.
Is this something an umbraco developer would be able to solve.
thanks

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. thanks
