If you are an administrator, you can also manage users and administer the server. These links do not appear to a non-admin user.

The options listed in the Personal Settings Page depend on the applications that are enabled by the administrator. Some of the features you will see include the following:

  • Usage and available quota

  • Manage your profile picture

  • Full name (You can make this anything you want, as it is separate from your Nextcloud login name, which is unique and cannot be changed)

  • Email address

  • List of your Group memberships

  • Change your password

  • Using two-factor authentication

  • Setting your preferences

  • Choose the language for your Nextcloud interface

  • Links to desktop and mobile apps

  • Manage your Activity stream and notifications

  • Default folder to save new documents to

  • Your Federated sharing ID

  • Social sharing links

  • Nextcloud version

ملاحظة

Available options and settings depending on your administrators configuration. If you are not able to change the password or the display-name in your personal settings, please contact your administrator for help.
