 +=====Storage Engine=====
 +
 +Padsystem Cloud allow user to set up his/her own storage server such that works (files) can be stored in the user defined storage instead of in Padsystem Cloud.  This is likely require by companies who do not want to store their works in our centre.
 +
 +Once the Share is configured to use its own storage engine, all newly created works will be stored into that server.  Existing works will be remains in its original storage location until it is saved again.
 +
 +You may setup more than one storage engine, although not recommended, but only one will be used for writing.  You may put the server into your local area network or in the Internet, as long as all your users  can access the storage server by the Padsystem Desktop.
 +
 +__What is  SFTP server?__
 +
 +At the moment, we only support SFTP server as user defined storage engine.  An SFTP server (SSH File Transfer Protocol server) is a server that enables secure file transfers, remote file access, and file management over the internet using the SSH protocol. It's a secure alternative to the traditional File Transfer Protocol (FTP), offering encryption for data transmission and authentication. 
 +
 +SFTP server is very common and easy to setup.  You may setup a Linux server which has SFTP server build-in.  For Windows, there are many free and commercially available SFTP servers such as FileZilla.
 +
 +
 +**Set up a storage engine**
 +
 +1. Click the wheel icon {{:en:padsystem_version_8.0:圖片1.png?30 |}} on the left-hand side bar. 
 +
 +2. Click Preferences

 +=====FAQ=====
 +
 +**1. Q : How to transfer an old file to a local server?**
 +
 +**A :** Open the file you want to transfer to the local, make slight modifications or move the pattern piece, then press 'Save.' The file will automatically be sent to the local server.
 +
 +**2. Q: How to send files on your local server to others via email or other media?**
 +
 +**A:**  On the home page, select the local server files and download them to your computer using the download feature. After that, you can send them to someone else.
 +
 +**Note:** Users cannot copy files directly from the server. They must use the home page or the cloud web page to download the files.
 +
 +**3. Q: If I change the server, can I get the file open from the old server?**
 +
 +**A:**
 +
 +Case 1 : If you change the new server (S2), when the user opens a file from the old server (S1) and edits it, the changes will be saved to the new server (S2) once they save the file.
 +
 +Case 2:  If the old server (S1) does not exist, when the user opens a file from the old server (S1), an error will appear.
 +
 +Case 3: If the storage location changes to a local server that does not exist (e.g. typo mistake in the save path), an error will appear when you open and then save the cloud file.
 +
 +About three cases will appear below the error message. To check the file storage location setting, go to the Cloud landing page, click the 'wheel' icon, and then navigate to Storage Engine.
 +
 +{{:en:padsystem_version_8.0:圖片18.png?|}}
 +
 +**4. Q: Why does opening a cloud file result in a 'File Not Found' error?**
 +
 +{{:en:padsystem_version_8.0:圖片19.png?|}}
 +
 +**A:** It is possible that you have set the wrong storage location, causing the file to be inaccessible. You should go to the Cloud landing page, click the 'wheel' icon, then navigate to Storage Engine to check the file storage location.
