Manage the Recycle Bin Using Policies
Administrators can configure FileCloud to deal with the site's Recycle Bin through policies.
Why?
- Files deleted by users are moved to recycle bin (if enabled).
- The files in recycle bin will take up space over time.
To manage the recycle bin, you can decide what to do with files in the following cases:
All of these scenarios can be managed by configuring the built-in policy called Global Default Policy.
You must ensure that the Cron service is running. This is a prerequisite for any automatic functionality in FileCloud Server.
To configure the recycle bin policy:
- Log into the admin portal.
- From the left navigation pane, go to Settings > Policies.
- Select the Global Default Policy, and then click the Edit policy button ( ).
- In the Policy Settings window, in Store Deleted Files, select YES or NO.
- If you selected NO, to save your changes, click Save and to close the policy window click Close.
- If you selected YES, in Automatically delete File from the Recycle Bin After Set Number of Days, to enable this option, type in a number. To disable this option, type in 0.
- If you selected YES, in Do Not Store Deleted Files Greater Than, select the type of unit in Units, and then type in a number.
- To save your changes, click Save.
