Attaching files to catalog records in Koha

Users can upload documents (e.g. pdf, text, doc etc.) while cataloging with Koha version 3.22.x. Uploaded documents store in internal directory and the link add in 856$u tag. The main advantage is that no need to store files in external storage places like Google Drive and Dropbox.

<upload_path>/var/lib/koha/library/uploads/</upload_path>

3. Restart Apache 

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

4. Check again Koha > About Koha > System information. No warning message, if destination folder is ready,
