Settings Name

Description

Allow users to back up

Allow users to back up files and folders using the FileCloud Sync app. See Backing Up Files.
This setting also enables you to configure Sync backup of specific files and folders for all users. See Globally Backing Up User Files and Folders.

Allow camera uploads

Allow mobile clients to automatically back up photos and videos to their FileCloud accounts. 
Turning off this setting prevents this server from being used to back up audio/video files. 

All camera uploads are stored in the user's backup folder. This location cannot be changed.
For example, if the user name is jdoe, the camera uploads are stored in /jdoe/backups/<phone name>

You can override this path for specific users to have them back up to a different location in the User Details screen (see below).

Backup notification email
