4Use Cloud in your browser
- Libraries and folders: your files live in libraries (top-level folders). Create a library, then add folders and files.
- Upload: use the upload button, or drag and drop files into the browser window.
- Edit Office files online: click a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file to open and edit it in the browser.
- Share by link: share a file or folder with a link, with an optional password and expiry date.
- File history and trash: restore earlier versions of a file and recover deleted files from the trash.
5Sync your computer and phone
- Install the free Seafile apps: desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux, and mobile apps for Android and iPhone.
- When the app asks for a server, enter
https://cloud.nostr.africa. - Sign in with your Cloud email and password and choose which libraries to sync.
6Storage, upgrades and renewals
- Every account has its own storage limit (50 GB, 200 GB or 1 TB).
- Need more space? Contact us and we will raise your storage limit.
- Renewal is manual: we contact you before your month ends.
Good practiceUse a strong password that you do not use elsewhere, and set passwords and expiry dates on share links for private files. For files you cannot afford to lose, keep a second copy somewhere else as well.
