## The device used to store the share data a.k.a. userdata.
## INTERNAL -> Use the same drive Batocera has been flashed to. See https://wiki.batocera.org/add_games_bios on how to add files to the internal storage.
## ANYEXTERNAL -> Use the first external storage detected. See https://wiki.batocera.org/store_games_on_a_second_usb_sata_drive
## Putting the name here of the drive instead will use that specific external storage. Use the menu in Batocera to see the available options.
## DEVICES -> Use external storage for individual folders. See https://wiki.batocera.org/store_games_on_a_second_usb_sata_drive#manual_configuration_with_batocera-bootconf_advanced
## DEV -> Manually define the GUID of the storage device requested. See https://wiki.batocera.org/store_games_on_a_second_usb_sata_drive#dev_mode
## NETWORK -> Use the network share, requires configuration first. See https://wiki.batocera.org/store_games_on_a_nas
