Hi there,

I tried to insert a link to a PDF file which I uploaded in the "files" folder in the media manager, but this folder isn't shown in the File Browser. Why and what can I do?

JCE Version 2.9.97, Joomla Version 6.0.2

Thank you and best regards, Sabine

By default the filesystem will use the Joomla images folder, if no other folders are specified.

The Joomla files folder is not a sub-folder of the images folder, so it cannot be accessed from within the images folder.

You can however specify multiple folders to access in Editor Profiles -> Editor Parameters -> Filesystem, by setting each folder's path and an optional label, eg:

Is this option only available in the PRO version? OK, I'll switch to that.

Thank you and BR
