Setting up additional database folders
Besides the default folder, FileMaker Server can also host databases in two additional database folders. You should create the folders on the master machine before specifying the path on the Database Server > Folders tab.
To specify up to two additional database folders:
1. Click the Database Server > Folders tab.
2. For additional database folder 1, select Enable additional database folder 1.
3. In Path, enter the full path to the location of the first additional database folder. The maximum length of the path is 255 characters.
•Windows: The path you enter must start with filewin:/ and end with a slash (/).
For example, filewin:/driveLetter:/folderName/
•macOS: The path you enter must start with filemac:/ and end with a slash (/). If the folder is located on a remote volume, make sure the volume is mounted so that FileMaker Server can validate the path.
For example, filemac:/volumeName/folderName/
Note Click Revert to undo changes made to the path.
4. To specify the next additional database folder, repeat the steps above for additional database folder 2.
