Basic Settings Checklist
In the following section, to display more information, click on a step.
It is very important that the "Server URL" is a valid externally accessible URL. This URL will be used for creating shares
Also if you are running multi-tenant setup, the URL is used for background cron job processing, so make sure the URL is accessible from the server running FileCloud.
The following settings can be set on the Manage Settings screen on the Server tab, unless otherwise noted.
| Settings Name | Description | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Service Name | The name to be used when referring to your FileCloud service. This will be used in email messages etc | ||||||||
| Server URL | This is your DNS entry registered with DNS service. example xyz.company.com . This is the URL by which users will access FileCloud service. NOTE: Be sure to use the appropriate protocol prefix https:// or http:// . For production, it is highly recommended to use only https:// | ||||||||
| Session Timeout | Number indicating the number or fraction of days the authentication is valid. If the browser is closed, the session will be logged out. Read this to change this behavior PLEASE NOTE: Session Timeout value is only applicable for Web browsers and not for other FileCloud clients such as Sync, Drive, Outlook Add-in etc as they store the login credentials.
