Once the volumes have been configured here, they will be automatically available as storage paths for meta devices in the Tools > Configure > Cloud-devices section.

Added volumes are also automatically included in the media folders. A warning message will be displayed to update the related media folders if an existing volume is modified.

Allowed volume paths:

• UNC (\\myfolder\)
• FTP (ftp://myfolder/)
• AVID (interplay://myfolder/)
• Local (d:\myfolder\)

Note: The usage of the root directory paths (e.g. D:\) is not allowed.
