 By default, the Actor uses a <ApiLink to="class/SmartApifyStorageClient">`SmartApifyStorageClient`</ApiLink>, a hybrid client that delegates to one of two underlying clients depending on the environment:
 
 - When running on the Apify platform (detected automatically), or when you pass `force_cloud=True`, it uses the cloud client, <ApiLink to="class/ApifyStorageClient">`ApifyStorageClient`</ApiLink>, which persists data through the Apify API.
-- When running locally, it uses the local client, <ApiLink to="class/FileSystemStorageClient">`FileSystemStorageClient`</ApiLink>, which emulates platform storages on your filesystem under the `storage` folder.
+- When running locally, it uses the local client, <ApiLink to="class/ApifyFileSystemStorageClient">`ApifyFileSystemStorageClient`</ApiLink>, which emulates platform storages on your filesystem under the `storage` folder.
 
 As a result, the same Actor code can run unchanged both locally and on the platform.

 - <ApiLink to="class/SmartApifyStorageClient">`SmartApifyStorageClient`</ApiLink> - the default hybrid client. It wraps a `cloud_storage_client` and a `local_storage_client` and routes each call to the right one.
 - <ApiLink to="class/ApifyStorageClient">`ApifyStorageClient`</ApiLink> - talks to the Apify API. Used as the cloud client.

+- <ApiLink to="class/ApifyFileSystemStorageClient">`ApifyFileSystemStorageClient`</ApiLink> - persists data to the local filesystem. Used as the default local client.
 - <ApiLink to="class/MemoryStorageClient">`MemoryStorageClient`</ApiLink> - keeps everything in memory and persists nothing. Useful for tests and short-lived runs.
 
 All of these clients implement Crawlee's <ApiLink to="class/StorageClient">`StorageClient`</ApiLink> interface, so any of them can be used as a sub-client of `SmartApifyStorageClient`. For details, see [customizing the storage client](#customizing-the-storage-client).

+## Storage client exports
+
+In v3, `apify.storage_clients.FileSystemStorageClient` was an alias for the Apify-specific file-system client, which shadowed Crawlee's distinct class of the same name. In v4 the name refers to Crawlee's `FileSystemStorageClient` (the base client), and the Apify variant is exported under its own name, `ApifyFileSystemStorageClient`.
+
+`ApifyFileSystemStorageClient` stays the default local client, so most Actors need no change. Update your imports only if you construct the local client explicitly and rely on its Apify behavior, such as preserving the Actor `INPUT` record on purge or local `PAY_PER_EVENT` charging.
+
+```python
+# Before (v3)
+from apify.storage_clients import FileSystemStorageClient
+
+storage_client = FileSystemStorageClient()
+
+# After (v4)
+from apify.storage_clients import ApifyFileSystemStorageClient
+
+storage_client = ApifyFileSystemStorageClient()
+```
+
 ## Built on apify-client v3
 
 The SDK is now built on [`apify-client`](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python) v3 and no longer depends on `apify-shared`. The sections below cover the user-visible consequences; see the client's [Upgrading to v3](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs/upgrading/upgrading-to-v3) guide for the full list of changes in the client itself.
