# Local Provider Use the local provider to store files in a local filesystem where your application is running. Behind the scenes it leverages the Java `nio` package to provide concurrency, atomicity, and non-blocking operations. ## Configuration ### Example

moduleSettings = {
  "cbfs": {
	// The default disk with a reserved name of 'default'
	"defaultDisk" : "myStorage",
	// Register the disks on the system
	"disks"       : {
	  // Your default application storage
	  "myStorage" : {
		"provider"   : "Local",
		"properties" : { 
			"path" : "#controller.getAppRootPath()#.myStorage",
			"diskUrl" : function(){
				return variables.controller
					.getRequestService()
					.getContext()
					.getHtmlBaseUrl()
					& "storage/.mystorage/";
			}
		}
	  }
	}
  }
};

### Properties When configuring your local disks, the following properties are available:

Property	Type	Default	Description
`autoExpand`	`Boolean`	false	If true, it will use an `expandPath()` on the path property. Else it leaves it as is.
`diskUrl`	`http(s)`	`null`	The public disk Url. This is used to create file URLs and temporary URLs. This should point to the root path but in a web-accessible format.
`path`	`string`	--	The relative or absolute path of where to store the file system.
`uploadMimeAccept`	`string`	*	The mime types which are accepted via the upload method. Defaults to all.
