# Set up Environment comparison studio connector

Set up a connector of type **ECS Azure file storage**. Use this type to connect to your Azure file storage location. The connector creates the Environment Comparison Studio folders in the share that is defined in the **Environment Comparison Studio parameters**.

On the **Connector** page, in the **ECS connector details** section, you can view the generated folder paths.

The **ECS Azure file storage** connector creates:

- The environment-specific parent folder. This folder is created in the **Share** that is defined in the **Environment Comparison Studio parameters**.
- A folder for each legal entity in the environment. These folders are created in the environment-specific parent folder.
- A **Work (ECSWorkFolder)** folder for each legal entity. This folder is created in the legal entity folder.
- **Archive**, **Error**, **Export**, and **Import** folders. These folders are created in the **Work (ECSWorkFolder)** folder.

Use the **ECS Azure file storage** connector to manage the paths and to place Environment Comparison Studio files in the applicable folders.

| Folder | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Archive | The **Archive** folder of the connector. The folder is used to store used and imported XML files. - In Environment Comparison Studio, the XML files that you used for the content package creation will be moved to the **Archive** folder. - In Connectivity Studio, the resulting XML file will be moved to the **Archive** folder when you import the file back into D365 F&SCM. |
| Error | The **Error** folder of the connector. Files are moved to this folder if, during import, errors occurred. |
| Export | Folder where export messages, with the **ECS Azure file storage** connector as target connector, store the generated XML files. These files are used to create ECS content packages. |
| Import | Folder where the import messages, with the **ECS Azure file storage** connector as source connector, get XML files to import into D365 F&SCM. The import message, with the **ECS Azure file storage** connector as source connector, gets the XML files from the **Import** folder. |
