FileCloud Debug Log File Locations

FileCloud Server is thoroughly tested during development and before every release.

  • However, it is impossible to reproduce every kind of IT environment created by our customers.
  • In your unique environment, you may see FileCloud Server perform unexpectedly. 
  • In a large complex program such as FileCloud Server with many lines of code, it may be difficult to find and resolve an issue.
  • Therefore, to help you troubleshoot issues, CodeLathe provides you with the ability to record extra information in logs. 
  • Your log information can also help us fix any issues you see in a later release.


Starting in FileCloud Server version 19.1, FileCloud Server log files in the scratch folder are now automatically compressed into a zip folder.

  • This new auto-archive process is completed by Cron
  • As soon as a log file is 30 days old, it is compressed and added to the archive
  • This archival process happens automatically and does not require you to configure any special settings.
