Install & Register the Private Cloud Vault
To add a new Vault for storage, you first need to download the Vault installer. You can then run it on your server and register it so that it connects to Endpoint Cloud.
To register a vault, you will need to have the email address and password of an Endpoint Cloud user account with the Administrator or Security Officer role.
To download and install the Private Cloud Vault package:
- Click Vaults.
- Click Download Private Cloud Vault.
Note
If you do not see this option, select the download icon at the top-right of the Vaults screen instead.
- When the Private Cloud Vault package downloads, find it on your computer and copy it to your server.
- On the server, install the Private Cloud Vault software. You can install it to the default location or choose another location if you prefer.
Important
You must choose a location that has a suitable amount of storage space for your data. We usually recommend 20GB per user, but this can vary depending on the type and amount of data your organization uses.
