The `data` folder has sub-folders for `torrents` and `usenet`, and each of these has sub-folders for `tv`, `movie` and `music` downloads to keep things organized. The `media` folder has nicely named `TV`, `Movies` and `Music` sub-folders, this is where your library resides, and what you’d pass to Plex, Emby or JellyFin.

You will need to create these subfolders yourself. You can do this in any way you prefer, but the fastest way to create all the necessary subfolders would be to use the terminal (explained below). Alternatively, Krusader or WinSCP are popular choices if you are unsure.

A major benefit of having your Docker containers on the same custom Docker network is that they will be able to communicate with other using their container names, rather than having to use IP addresses.
Unraid doesn't create a custom docker network by default, you need to create one yourself.
- Open a terminal window and type:
```none
docker network create your_uber_cool_network_name
```

1. Make sure you enable the `Advanced View` at the top right corner.

1. Don't forget to remove all individual location mounts, for example `/movies`, `/tv`, `/books`, or `/downloads`, so you can avoid making mistakes by using them. You only need the `/config` mount, and then whichever paths/mounts/volumes are described in this guide.
