        The file browser you’re referring to needs the /images /files /media and /flash folders to work properly. By default, it searches for that in /assets..

        You can change that in Tools -> Configuration -> Interface & Features. Find File base path and File Browser URL. Remove assets/ from both of them, then you should be able to use /files in the webroot.

        I don’t know how to change the behaviour of using the /images /files etc folders.


        Of course, you can also manually type in the url to any file or image you want.

        Hope this helps!
