The cbfs module will enable you to abstract **ANY** filesystem within your ColdBox applications with a human, fluent, and consistent API. You can configure as many disks as you wish to represent file systems in your application. Each disk is backed by a storage provider and configurable within your ColdBox application. Each ColdBox Module can also provide and consume disks in an HMVC fashion.
Never worry about hard-coded paths or how to interact with different file systems or tiers, as your API will remain the same for each system.
## Storage Providers
The available storage providers are
* **Local** - A local file system storage provider.
* **Ram** - An in-memory file storage provider.
* **S3** - An Amazon S3, Rackspace, Digital Ocean, or Google Cloud Storage provider.
