You will use the dashboard on the Administrator Portal to configure the site hosted by FileCloud in the following ways:

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.

After you log in for the first time with the password provided by FileCloud, you should change the password immediately.
