Why should I store my files on an external server ?
Sometimes your hosting provider doesn’t provide you with enough storage, by connecting Droppy to an external FTP server you are able to store larger files for longer times (This depends on the maximum storage size of your FTP server), you will keep the files separated from your application server what will lead to better performance of your application server.
Requirements
- Version 1.1.3 or higher of Droppy
- Web server
- MySql database
- External FTP/SFTP server
Note: This plugin will not work together with the Amazon S3 plugin.
