Hallo!!

I want to run tinyfilemanager on a Raspberry Pi that is plugged into a massive external hard drive with terabytes of data on it. I have 2 questions - Is there a way to cycle through all of that data and index it so I can use it, and can I point it to the drive instead of the normal /var/www/html dir?

Thank you!

Tinyfilemanager has no index concept
Point to drive - Yes, you can point to drive. use full absolute path in $root_path. i.e /usr/share/myfiles, but media(image, video, audio) preview will not work if file is outside web root.
