Once you [update your instance]({{site.baseurl}}/article/updating-on-premise/), most implementations will be already setup to begin [using Send]({{site.baseurl}}/article/create-send/). An exception to this is if you're using a non-default **mapped volume for attachment storage**.
The files attached to File Sends are stored in a `send` subdirectory of the existing attachments volume (i.e. `./bwdata/core/attachments/send`). This is dictated by the `globalSettings__send__baseDirectory=` environment variable, which has the following default configuration in `global.override.env`:
```
globalSettings__send__baseDirectory=/etc/bitwarden/core/attachments/send
```
If you want to store the files attached to File Sends in your non-default attachments volume, you'll need to point `globalSettings__send__baseDirectory=` to the new volume. For more information, see [Configure Environment Variables]({{site.baseurl}}/article/environment-variables/).
