Determines whether users can change the directory for the MyJabberChats and MyJabberFiles folders.

• true (default)—Users can change the directory of the MyJabberChats and MyJabberFiles folders using the Change Folder button on the Chats tab of the Options dialog.

• false—Users are not allowed to change the directory for the MyJabberChats and MyJabberFiles folders. The Change Folder button is not visible on the Chats tab of the Options dialog. The directory for the MyJabberChats and MyJabberFiles folders is determined by the AutosaveChatsLocation parameter.

If this parameter is not set, then the behavior is as for true.

• false (default)—Files are not automatically accepted and the recipient must manually agree to receive the file.

Example: <AutoAcceptFileTransfer>true</AutoAcceptFileTransfer>

Applies to Cisco Jabber for desktop clients.

Set up .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, and .png images to be automatically accepted by users. The AutoAcceptFileTransfer parameter (which is off by default) does not affect this parameter as it does not apply to image files.

If the AllowUserSelectChatsFileDirectory parameter is set to false, then this parameter works with the MyJabberFilesLocation parameter as follows:

• If both the AutosaveChatsLocation parameter and the MyJabberFilesLocation parameter have a value, then the MyJabberFilesLocation value takes priority.

• If the MyJabberFilesLocation parameter does not have a value, then the AutosaveChatsLocation value determines the path to the MyJabberChats and MyJabberFiles folders.

• If both the AutosaveChatsLocation parameter and the MyJabberFilesLocation parameter have no value, then all chats and files are saved to the default location (Documents folder).

Example: <AutosaveChatsLocation>Local_Path</AutosaveChatsLocation>

Applies to Cisco Jabber for mobile clients.
