+# Persistent storage
+
+## Using Services
+
+Chevereto supports using external storage providers for user provided content and website assets. It support any mixture of configurations as you may need to customize.
+
+For more information:
+
+* [External Storage](https://v3-docs.chevereto.com/features/integrations/external-storage.html) documentation
+* [Assets Variables](https://v3-docs.chevereto.com/setup/system/environment.html#assets-variables) reference
+
+## Using Volumes
+
+If you are using volumes for persistent storage, permissions in the mount path must be `www-data:www-data` to enable Chevereto to write those volumes.
+
+Run this command in the Chevereto container to set the right permissions:
+
+```sh
+/bin/bash -c 'chown -R www-data: _assets/ images/ importing/'
+```
+
+## Permissions check
+
+Enter to the container console `/bin/bash`. Once there, run `ls -la` and you should see something like this:
+
+```plain
+root@688cf7e6d94f:/var/www/html# ls -la

 ## Updating
 
 You will need to [update your template](../../UPDATING.md) then [re-create the build](../../BUILDING.md).
