allowedFileMounts
-----------------

:aspect:`Option path`
      persistenceManager.allowedFileMounts

:aspect:`Data type`
      array

:aspect:`Needed by`
      Frontend/ Backend (form manager/ form editor/ plugin)

:aspect:`Mandatory`
      Yes (if :ref:`allowedExtensionPaths <persistenceManager.allowedExtensionPaths>` is not set)

:aspect:`Default value`
      .. code-block:: yaml

:aspect:`Good to know`
      :ref:`Form/ File storages<concepts-form-file-storages>`

:aspect:`Description`
      EXT:form stores the form definitions within the file system and thus needs
      write access to this storage. By default, the folder ``form_definitions`` is
      created and used. It is possible to configure a different and/ or an additional
      file mount which is then utilized for storing and reading forms.
