When you initially register for a FileCloud Online trial, you are sent a welcome email with a user name and password you can use to access both the admin portal and the user portal. The account associated with this user is an admin user account, which means that the account owner is an end user with administrative privileges. Once you purchase FileCloud, you are given a main admin account that has complete control over the FileCloud site and all other users.
After you log in for the first time with the password provided by FileCloud, you should change the password immediately.
You can use any of the following supported web browsers to access the admin portal:
-
Google Chrome
-
Microsoft Edge
-
Mozilla Firefox
-
Safari
