*Storage Manager* is a feature that helps you manage your systems storage device. You can use *Storage Manager* to:
|
|
|
|
* Download, upload, or manage operating system files. To use this feature, *pgAdmin* must be running in *Server Mode* on your client machine.
|
|
* The shared storage option allows users to access the shared storages that are shared by admin users.
|
|
* Download *backup* or *export* files (custom, tar and plain text format) on a client machine.
|
|
* Download *export* dump files of tables.
|
|
|
|
You can access *Storage Manager* from the *Tools* Menu.

Use icons on the top of the *Storage Manager* window to manage storage:
|
|
|
|
Use the ``Folder`` icon |Shared Storage| to access shared storage. In order to enable shared storage,
|
|
admins need to add the SHARED_STORAGE variable to the config file. Users can access the shared storage
|
|
with this and share files with one another.

In shared storage the ``My Storage`` is the user's storage directory, and other directories are shared storage set by
|
|
the admin user. Using this shared storage users can share the files with other users through pgAdmin.
|
|
Admin users can mark the shared storage as restricted to restrict non-admin users from deleting, uploading,
|
|
adding, and renaming files/folders in shared storage by setting the restricted_access flag in config.
|
|
|
|
*NOTE: You must ensure the directories specified are writeable by the user that the web server processes will be running as, e.g. apache or www-data.*
