 ### Fileserver
 
-@todo: fileserver and why is separated
+The fileserver provides access to a shared storage space that contains files
+submitted by students, supplementary files such as test inputs and outputs and
+results of evaluation. This functionality can be easily separated from the rest
+of the backend features, which led to designing the fileserver as a
+standalone component. Such design helps encapsulate the details of how the files
+are stored (e.g. on a file system, in a database or using a cloud storage
+service), while also making it possible to share the storage between multiple
+ReCodEx frontends.
