Custom Inboxes

You can set a custom inbox (custom storage location) for a workgroup or a dropbox. Custom inboxes are directories on a tethered node.

Note: Only Faspex admins can set custom inboxes. Workgroup and dropbox admins do not have this power.

How Faspex Stores Packages for Custom Inboxes

  • Incoming packages are stored in both the custom inbox and the default server inbox. Deleting packages from the default inbox through the web UI do not automatically remove the same packages from the custom inbox.
  • Use the Upload directly to custom inbox option to prevent Faspex from storing a copy in the default inbox if the workgroup or dropbox is the only recipient of a package.
    Note: If a user sends a package to two workgroups or dropboxes, even if both workgroups and dropboxes are configured to upload directly to the custom inbox, Faspex stores the package on the default inbox and then relays the packages to the custom inboxes.
  • Even if symbolic links are enabled for a storage location, packages sent to a workgroup or dropbox with a custom inbox are not symbolic links. The default inbox location contains symbolic links, but custom inboxes contain actual files.
