# Data Storage
The directory path stored in the path-specific filer store has the `location` prefix trimmed and persists to the store. For example, the file `/my/home/tmp/file.txt` stored in path-specific filer store with the `location = "/my/home/" will only store "/tmp/file.txt" to the store.
When reading back, the prefix will be transparently added back.
The directory path stored in the path-specific filer store has the `location` prefix trimmed and persists to the store. For example, if `location = "/my/home/"`, the file `/my/home/tmp/file.txt` will only store as "/tmp/file.txt". When reading back, the prefix will be transparently added back.
This trimming saves some storage, but that is not the purpose. This means the path-specific filer store can later change `location` to another directory, or even another filer.
