Remarks

ASPxHtmlEditor media dialogs contain a built-in ASPxFileManager control, which provides the capability to operate with files and folders that are stored in a physical file system, or in a data base, or in cloud services. Use the ProviderType property to specify the type of storage where a current file system is contained.

Note

The Html Editor doesn’t support the Google Drive and OneDrive cloud storages.
