## Folder Structure
!!! warning
It doesn't really matter which path you use for your media and appdata,
the only thing you should avoid is `/home`.
Because user folders in `/home` are expected to have some restrictive permissions.
It just could end up creating a permissions mess, so it's better to just avoid entirely.
For this example we're going to make use of a share called `data`.
The `data` folder has sub-folders for `torrents` and `usenet` and each of these have sub-folders for `tv`, `movie` and `music` downloads to keep things neat. The `media` folder has nicely named `TV`, `Movies` and `Music` sub-folders, this is your library and what youd pass to Plex, Emby or JellyFin.
*In this examples I'm using lower case on all folder on purpose, being Linux is case sensitive.*
