Server Settings
Server settings include the Server Name and Server URL, which you must set before using FileCloud, as well as other server-related settings such as the session timeout period and the languages of the user portal and admin portal
To set the Server settings:
- In the FileCloud admin portal's left navigation bar, scroll down and click Settings. Then, on the Settings navigation page, click Server .
The Server settings page opens. - Fill in the settings as shown in the following screenshot, using the table below as a guide.
Settings Name Description Service Name The name to be used when referring to your FileCloud service. This is used in email messages, in the zip filename for multiple downloads, and anywhere else your service is referred to by its name. Server URL The URL by which users access your FileCloud site. Enter the protocol and domain name, for example, https://xyz.company.com.
If you are using a custom port, also include the port number, for example, https://myfilecloud.com:3000.Notes:
- Confirm that your domain name is externally accessible via any firewall you have.
- Since this URL is used for background cron job processing, if you are running multi-tenant setup, make sure it is accessible from the server running FileCloud.
- Use the appropriate protocol prefix https:// or http:// . For production use only https://
Session Timeout The number of minutes the browser session is valid.
By default:
- Session Timeout value is only applicable for the user portal and not for other FileCloud clients such as Sync, Drive, and FileCloud Desktop.
- If the browser is closed, the session is logged out.
To apply Session Timeout to other clients or to disable session log out when the browser is closed, see User Session Expiration
