However, if cFolders users are distributed in different geographical locations, you can use more than multiple, distributed content servers to store the cFolders data. Allowing each user to select the content server on which they want to save cFolders data provides the following benefits:

It promotes considerably faster connections.
It reduces the load on the cFolders basis system by executing the file transfer on another server.
