Introduction
The Storage Configuration feature allows administrators to configure the storage settings for the QTM4J instance. With the appropriate storage options, FTP, Data Directory, or Amazon S3 configured, users can attach files in the attachment section of test assets and during exploratory testing sessions. This configuration provides a scalable storage solution that can handle bulk file and image attachments efficiently.
