Other Requirements

 

  • You need a public IP for the server running FileCloud. Typically, this means you need a static IP for the server as dynamic IPs provided by most ISPs keep changing.
  • Good quality network connection to the FileCloud Server. Minimum should be 512 Kbps upload and download for good experience. Faster the better.
  • You will typically need a top level domain name (for example: cloud.mycompany.com or mycompanycloud.com). You can purchase a domain name from any domain registrar and then point the DNS for that domain name to the public IP of the server that is running FileCloud.
  • You will also need a valid SSL certificate for your domain name to setup and use https with your filecloud server for best security.
