## What is a File Provider Module?
|
||
|
||
A file provider module implements the logic of handling uploads and downloads. The File Module must have one file provider module configured.
|
||
|
||
By default, Medusa uses the Local File Module. This module uploads files to the `uploads` directory of your Medusa application.
|
||
|
||
This is useful for development. However, for production, it’s highly recommended to use other File Modules, such as the S3 Module.
