Make it your own
First, you want to give your profile the personal touch. Open a web browser and log into your new account. Then in the top right corner of your browser window, click on your username and then on „Settings“. In the General tab, add your name and a profile picture and maybe set a stronger password.
Make it more comfortable
Then go on to the Sharing tab, where you can choose to “Automatically accept new incoming local user shares” for more comfort and maybe also “Allow finding you via autocomplete in share dialog” to make it more straightforward for colleagues to share files and folders with you.
Make it secure
In the Security tab, we strongly suggest you use second-factor authentication. Further down, you can see which devices are logged in with your credentials.
