Backwards Compatibility Notes

You cannot upgrade Windows and Linux using the Admin Portal.

Beginning with Version 21.1, the files to download when upgrading with the Windows Update Tool have changed. The new files are listed below under Full Upgrade for Windows and with the full upgrade procedure in the documentation page Upgrade using Update Tool (Windows Only). 

Upgrading

As always, make a full backup of your existing installation before upgrading.

If your installation of FileCloud uses admin portal user access restrictions, please see Restricting Access To Admin UI Based On IP Addresses for updated instructions.
