End-User guide
Welcome to your leitzcloud!
First, log in to your leitzcloud with your login data.
As a user of an organization you should have already received an email from your administrator containing your user name and your temporary password.
Once you are logged in, you will see your personal file view. There you will find an overview over your private folders and Team Shares, in which you can share, up- and download files.
Edit user account
Click on your user name at the top right to change details like your email address or password.
You will then be redirected to this form:
Download the Sync Tool
Download the leitzcloud Sync Tool to synchronize your folders and files with your Computer and edit them locally. Therefore click on your user name at the top right and select “Download Apps”. You will be forwarded to where you can choose the right application for your operating system.
Follow the installation instructions and once the installation is finished, you can log on to your account with your usual login data.
Sync folder
After installing the Sync Tool, a synchronization folder will be created on your computer. Each folder and file that is in that synchronization folder will be synchronized with the leitzcloud.
You can now simply move everything you want to store in the leitzcloud into that folder. If you already have been added to a Team Share, you can also see the files that the Team Share contains in that folder and you can now work with them.
The symbols at the bottom of the folders and files provide you with information about the status of synchronization. If you see a blue symbol, it indicates that a file is being synchronized. As soon as a green hook is visible, the synchronization is completed.
Upload files
Important! For an optimal upload, we recommend a folder and file size not bigger than 100 GB!
There are several options how to upload files to your leitzcloud. You can either move them to your synchronization folder on your computer or you can use the Web Cloud.
In the Web Cloud there are again several options:
- Option 1: Drag and drop. Simply drag the file into "My Files" or a Team Share to upload it to the cloud.
- Option 2: Manual upload. To upload a file using this method, first select "Upload Files".
You will then be redirected to the following view, where you can select a file from your local directory via "Add Files" and then upload it via "Start Upload".
Tip: The best and safest way to upload files to the leitzcloud always is via our Sync Tool! This way you can easily move entire folders and keep track of possible upload errors.
