 * Do the files need to be located within the WP framework
    We wish to have them
   located outside the public_html framework for security purposes. Thanks

 * Hello,
 * The files (document repository) can be located outside of the WP framework. First,
   the web server will need read/write permissions to the location you select. Then,
   go to the DMS Configuration screen and change the location of the “Document Storage
   Path” under the “Document Repository” section.
 * If you already have uploaded documents to the original location, you will have
   to move them to the new location.
 * Best Regards,
 * Brian
