<file name>_<file extension><thumbnail suffix>.<thumbnail extension>

Media file allowed extensions

Extensions of files which can be uploaded to media libraries; should be entered divided by semicolons.

Check files permissions

Use permanent URLs

If true, URLs of medial library files will be generated in permanent format (~/getmedia/<file guid>/<file name>.<file extension>.<files friendly URL extension>), otherwise direct path to the file will be used (e.g.: ~/MySite/Media/MyLibrary/MyImage.jpg).

Media libraries folder

Folder where media library files are stored. You can use:

 

physical disk path - e.g. c:\myfiles\mysite
virtual path - ~/UploadedFiles
