## Work Directly on the Shared Storage
Working directly in the shared storage is the simplest way to work with Flamenco.
Working directly in the shared storage is the simplest way to work with
Flamenco. You can enable this mode by pointing Flamenco at the location of your
blend files.
As an example, if `S:\WorkArea` is where your blend files live (or in a
subdirectory thereof), you can update your `flamenco-manager.yaml` like this:
```yaml
shared_storage_path: S:\WorkArea
shaman:
enabled: false
```
When you submit a file from the shared storage, say
`S:\WorkArea\project\scene\shot\anim.blend`, Flamenco will detect this and
assume the Workers can reach the file there. No copy will be made.
## Creating a Copy for Each Render Job
@ -27,9 +42,22 @@ render job is running, the subsequently rendered frames will be using that
altered texture. If this is an issue for you, and you cannot use the [Shaman
Storage System][shaman], the approach described in this section is for you.
As an example, if `C:\WorkArea` is where you work on your blend files, and
`S:\Flamenco` is the shared storage for Flamenco, you will automatically use
this approach. You can update your `flamenco-manager.yaml` like this:
```yaml
shared_storage_path: S:\Flamenco
shaman:
enabled: false
```
As you can see, you do not have to tell Flamenco about `C:\WorkArea`, it'll
automatically detect which storage approach to use from the path of the blend
file you're submitting.
