FileCloud Debug Log File Locations

FileCloud Server is thoroughly tested during development and before every release.

  • However, it is impossible to reproduce every kind of IT environment created by our customers.

  • In your unique environment, you may see FileCloud perform unexpectedly. 

  • FileCloud provides you with the ability to record extra information in logs. 

  • Your log information can also help us fix any issues you see in a later release.

FileCloud log files in the scratch folder are automatically compressed into a zip folder.

  • This auto-archive process is completed by Cron

  • As soon as a log file is 30 days old, it is compressed and added to the archive.

  • This archival process happens automatically and does not require you to configure any special settings.
