Welcome to the eBox Administrator 5-Minute Quick Start Guide
This tutorial will show you how to setup your eBox account in just 5 minutes!
Step 1: SIGN IN to the eBox Website
Please use the temporary password we sent you via email.
Step 2: This is our Web-Based File Browser
Every new user gets a default Documents and Pictures folder (you can delete them if you want).
You can drag and drop files and folders into the web interface. All files and folders in All my files are private and cannot be seen by other users.
This website has limited functionality, please install the desktop software at the end of this guide.
Step 3: Change your password
3A: Click the User Menu (top right) and select Change Password from the dropdown menu.
3B: Enter the temporary password we sent you into the Old Password field
Enter your New Password twice, click OK
Step 4: Create eBox Users
4A: Click on the Management Console icon (top right)
4B: Click the Users menu (left side)
Click the + Create User tile
4C: Click Native User
4D: Fill in the user's details, click CONTINUE
The default 100GB is more than enough for each user, this can be changed later if necessary.
4E: Click CONTINUE
4F: Click COMMIT
We have sent an email with a temporary password and quick start guide to this user.
4G: Click on a user tile to manage their settings
Step 5: Create a Team Folder to be shared with your users
5A: Click the Team Folders Menu (left side)
Click the + tile
5B: Select Existing Tenant Storage

5G: You will now see the eBox User(s) assigned to this Team Folder, click the SAVE button
5H: Go back into My Files (top right)
5I: You will now see the newly created Team Folder
Files in team folders are shared between users that are assigned to that folder. Users cannot see each others files, unless those files are in a team folder that both users are assigned to.
All Done!
