Storage
Storages map to the storages used to hold files by the system.
Storage Purposes
Typically different storages are used for different purposes such as:
- Files: For storing the main files.
- Keyframes: For storing keyframes.
- Proxies: For storing proxies.
- Exports For using the storage as an export location.
- Archive For using the storage as an archive destination.

Storage Status
Storages have a state associated with them:
- Active The Storage is active and can be used
- InActive For defining the storage as not to be used.

Other Attributes
As well as the above there are a number of other attributes for a storage. Please see the guide on how to setup storage for more information.
Transcoders
Storage may optionally have transcoders associated with them. The transcoders must be given Read and Write access to the storage though the storage itself.
