| A File Storage Area is a directory that hosts digital objects.
The Search File Storage Areas page displays the File Storage Areas that are currently present in the store and provides tools to search or filter the results.
By default, the File Storage Areas are displayed by their SID (System ID) number. A different method of sorting can be selected by clicking the up and down arrows in the heading of each column.
