What is a Sohodox DB?

Sohodox DB is a database which stores all the data you enter and also stores references to all the documents that you add to the database. Apart from your indexing data it also holds security information about Users.

File Store

A Sohodox DB is always linked to a local or network folder in which any documents you add to that DB are stored. Sohodox refers to this folder as the DB's File Store. Learn More...

You can create multiple file stores but this is normally not required. One reason to create a new file store would be if the disk on which your current file store is located is running out of disk space. In this case you can create a new file store for the DB in a different location and mark it as the Default File Store. Though a DB can have multiple file stores, any documents you add are always added to the DB's Default File Store (the file store currently marked as default).
