File storage
A search via files is only possible if it was set up the File storage in Disk for file seach. Otherwise, the menu item will show a Lock icon.
However, the File storage only appears in the main menu if it is usable. This means that the File storage has been configured accordingly and the user has the application authorization. This procedure is comparable with the use of the number generator.
