  * directory path of the private folder will be: `/<path-to-laravel>/storage/app/public/files2/<user-id>/`
  * directory path of the shared folder will be: `/<path-to-laravel>/storage/app/public/files2/shares/`
* `startup_view`: The default display mode. Available options: `list` & `grid`.
* `max_size`: The maximum size(in KB) of of a single file to be uploaded.
* `valid_mime`: Only files with mime types listed here are allowed to be uploaded. See [full mime types list](http://docs.w3cub.com/http/basics_of_http/mime_types/complete_list_of_mime_types/).

## File Extension Information

    'pdf'  => 'Adobe Acrobat',
    'doc'  => 'Microsoft Word',
    'docx' => 'Microsoft Word',

## php.ini override

### php\_ini\_overrides

* type: `array` or `boolean`
* default:


```
'php_ini_overrides' => [
    'memory_limit' => '256M',
],
```

These values override your php.ini settings before uploading files. Set these to false to ingnore and apply your php.ini settings

⚠️ **Caveats**

The php\_ini\_overrides are applied on every request the filemanager does and are reset once the script has finished executing.
This has one drawback: any ini settings that you might want to change that apply to the request itself will not work.

For example, overriding these settings will not work:
* upload\_max\_filesize
* post\_max\_size

**Why this is expected behaviour:**
upload\_max\_filesize and post\_max\_size will get set but uploaded files are already passed to your PHP script before the settings are changed.
