What are Media Sources?¶
Media Sources are a feature in MODX Revolution, where one can specify the "source" of media in their MODX installation. This is visualized in many ways - the most common being in the left-hand Files tree, the MODX.Browser window, and file and image TVs.
A source can be many types - from the file system itself, to an Amazon S3 bucket, to a Flickr album. MODX provides two source types with the core installation: the file system and Amazon S3 bucket integration. Other sources can be made by creating Media Source Drivers, or by downloading them from Package Management.
