Use of C5 Folders in install directory
Permalink 1 user found helpful
C5 has a set of folders in the directory C5 is installed in and a similar set in the /concrete folder. Is it safe to use the base C5 folders such as /files & /js to put non-C5 specific files or are these reserved for C5 use only?

Thanks Lucas, I'll play safe and use my own folder.
The main reason I asked is that I already have a /files folder so I'll need to move that and the links to its contents, which I was hoping to avoid.

No problem. While I think you'd be okay in some cases, for the sake of organization and to protect against accidentally deleting an important file I think you're right in playing it safe.
If you're satisfied with my answer, why don't you go ahead an mark it as official. ;) Thanks!

However, in your case, I would not recommend putting 3rd party or non-related files/code into these folders as there is a certain amount of automatic checking of these folders by concrete5.
I would instead recommend that you create another folder on the same level to house your non-related files.
