INTRODUCTION
This article describes the Groove binary files store.



MORE INFORMATION
Groove stores data for workspaces in local databases. Some of this data is stored as binary files. For example, the following data is stored as binary files:
 * Files in the Files tool
 * Files in the Pictures tool
 * Files that are included as file attachments in entries in the Discussion tool

In Groove 1.2 and later versions of Groove through Groove Virtual Office 3.1, the binary files are stored in a single location that is called the binary files store. This change made it easier to manage files and resources in Groove. Additionally, this change laid the groundwork for significant performance improvements in Groove 1.3 and later versions of Groove.

In Microsoft Office Groove 2007, the binary file store is specific to each Windows user. This division helps protect data without damaging performance.
