Filestore and Session Physical Location - Odoo/OpenERP

You may choose to store them on the file system by setting an ir.config.parameter (Settings->Technical->Parameters-System parameters) named ir_attachment.location

Example ir_attachment.location to file:///filestore

In Odoo 8 onwards, the attachments stored in server itself as encrypted file and maintains a link to database. The attachments stored in a folder "filestore" in server. The physical local of filestore is .local/share/Odoo of Odoo running user.

Example, If Odoo is running by 'odoo' user as home /opt/odoo, then location is /opt/odoo/.local/share/Odoo/filestore/

Then each database folder get create in filestore.

Example: /opt/odoo/.local/share/Odoo/filestore/db_name

Similarly Odoo session also saves in .local/share/Odoo of Odoo running user.

Example, If Odoo is running by 'odoo' user as home /opt/odoo, then location is /opt/odoo/.local/share/Odoo/sessions/
