Basic Settings Checklist

To access the settings:

1. Open a browser and log into FileCloud Admin Portal.
2. In the left navigation panel, click Settings.
3. Click the Server  tab, which is normally the default view.
   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.
