Hi, I am pretty new to Zope. We need to install a site for our University department. On this site, we plan to store number of big files, like posters, student thesis, research papers, etc. I understand that ZODB is not the best storage for this sort of documents, but that we should rather use something like File System Storage for example. I just build a new Zope instance (buildout) and have Zope 2.10.6-final running along with Plone 3.2.1. What would the best external storage recommended? Looking at the Storage Products available for Zope (http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/StorageProducts) all products look pretty old to me, so I wonder if any is still supported, will continue to be supported in the future. Anyway, I tried to install File System Storage through buildout: buildout.cfg [buildout] parts = zope2 productdistros instance zopepy fss ... zope-instances = ${instance:location} storages = CSIM / directory /web/Plone3.2.1/FSS/storage /web/Plone3.2.1/FSS/backup This build OK, but I don't see where/how I can use FSS inside a test Plone site. It's like FSS is there, and built, but pretty inactive. So, how can I configure FSS, use it? ---- A side question, when I try to add most of the ATContentTypes objects in my test Plone site, ZMI always come to Add ATContentTypes: Portal Types Criterion. Is that a normal behaviour? TIA, Olivier

Very, very often discussed on the plone-users lists: use iw.fss or plone.app.blob (check the plone-users list archives). Andreas
