The default location of user files is hard-coded into the Pydio app, and cannot be changed through the web interface [edit. For this example I will move the default file locations to a new Amahi share. : this '''NOTE:''' This may be possible through the web interface at <code>Settings > Workspaces > Common Files, and Settings > Workspaces > My Files</code>. Try changing the file locations here first when logged in as an admin user].  You can change the location of your shares, but if you want to use Pydio to manage user data then you might want to move the default directories to a different location on your drive. For this example I will move the default file locations to a new Amahi share.

Using the HDA interface, navigate to the "shares" settings, and create a new share called "Pydio". By default this is located in <code>/var/hda/files/pydio</code>.  I moved mine to a second hard drive (see [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA|Adding a second hard drive to your HDA]] if you need to install a new hard drive), so changed . Change the file location to <code>/var/hda/files/drives/drive1/pydio</code> (click on the new share from the Amahi web interfaceHDA dashboard, and enter the new directory name).  However I also use [[Greyhole]], so want to mount the new share locally and manipulate files from that location.  See [[Mount_Shares_Locally]] if you need to set this up. To mount the new share locally, restart the mount_shares_locally service (Amahi 7 commands shown):
