Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/3475

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

I have a folder containing all the files of my website and I do not want to have multiple copies of this folder on my disks.

In order to incorporate it into my Workspace, I made a MKLINK from my folder to the "documents" folder (..\AppData\Roaming\anythingllm-desktop\storage\documents) but it does not appear in "My documents" of the "AnythingLLM-desktop" interface.

hat should I do?
Thank you. 🙏

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Mar 17, 2025):

We do not copy the file directly, we keep a formatted and plain-text version of the file as a JSON object that we reference for updates. This makes embedding requests not have to re-embed every time you want to use it. The reason your MKLinked documents do not exist is because they are not valid AnythingLLM formatted embedded versions.

Youll find that a 10MB PDF will easily become 100KB on AnythingLLM, we dont raw-copy the source files
