Ilija Studen:
Nope, that is not possible. Files are always stored on the same server where activeCollab is hosted.

Let's say my AC domain was limited in size and bandwidth, can I set a different domain in which to upload large attachments to?

Since October 2007, activeCollab is a commercial product. Please check homepage for tour, pricing and the demo.

I guess after MySQL 3.2.2 4gb is not an issue any more :) I am sort of 'old school' and separation model was always a must.
I did not notice that v1 is around for download...can you point me in the right direction?
Thank you again,

biotech:
the only way to 'extract original' images (filenames as well as file types) is to do use the download link, right?


That's right. Reason for this implementation (that we kept in v1.0 also) is to have simple and tidy file storage. What we store on disk is just binary data - everything else is handled by activeCollab internally.

Why is it done in such way?
...in return the only way to 'extract original' images (filenames as well as file types) is to do use the download link, right?
Thanks again!

I know this is a very old question & new version is out...but perhaps you can elaborate a bit more.
I have the same settings but I don't see files in this folder...I see files stored in strange and unreadable format of
eg.
Folder: activecollab/upload/5aac0/e8640/21438
File: "2a0bca7af8fcd62792f9d79e0"
while I was expecting "filename.jpg" as uploaded.

However I do see it under
folder: activecollab/public/files
file: "ba46af8520079009414f0a83ea08bcd5a4eeffac.png"


What is happening with the filenames?
Thank you!
