Understanding Discuz!
Discuz! is a popular forum software that allows users to create discussions, share content, and upload media files, including images. When users upload images on a Discuz! forum, understanding where these images are stored can help with various tasks, such as backup, migration, or cleanup.
Default Image Upload Directory
Uploaded images in Discuz! are typically stored in a directory inside the main installation folder of the software. The default path for these images is usually:
/data/attachment/forum/
Within this directory, images are usually organized into subfolders based on the date they were uploaded. This structure helps manage the large number of files that can accumulate over time as users contribute content.
