Hi Kasper,

in Umbraco 8 you will have to use Composer to achieve this:
```
public class MediaComposer : IUserComposer
{
    public void Compose(Composition composition)
    {
        composition.SetMediaFileSystem(() => new PhysicalFileSystem("~/CustomMedia"));
    }
}
```
Found this here: https://our.umbraco.com/forum/umbraco-8/96889-filesystemproviders-section-umbraco-8-to-change-media-location

You can find out more in the docs: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Implementation/Composing/

Thanks - spot on :)

If one where to locate the media on a shared server, is that the same implementation with different path?

They say in the docs to fix it with Composer

But where do you add the file containing the code?

Why the docs are so short and not enough
