FileCloud Site Setup

You must perform certain administrative tasks before FileCloud users can log in and use FileCloud efficiently. Some of the system settings and custom settings that you can configure are listed in the table below by priority and function. 

Beginning in FileCloud 20.1, the option for reverting to default values for all options in the Settings and Customization sections of the admin user interface is located in the Settings > Reset tab. In earlier versions of FileCloud, the option appears in the upper-right corner of all Settings and Customization pages. 

Some of the pages linked to in the following table may suggest making changes to the file cloudconfig.php (this initially appears in your FileCloud installation as cloudconfig-sample.php). After you make a change to cloudconfig.php, make sure you restart the message queue.
