Modifying a Drive Account for Shares

The steps below assume that you have Drive installed and running, and that you have created at least one Drive account that you want to modify.

To modify a transfer account, do the following:

  1. Choose one of the following methods to open Drive's Accounts preferences:
    • Right-click the Drive icon in the system tray and select Preferences > Accounts.
    • If you have the Drive Activity window open, select > Preferences > Accounts .
  2. On the left side of the dialog, select the transfer server account you want to modify.
  3. Under Account, you can change the connection settings for the account:
    Field Description
    Description The name of the account. The name is used only by Drive.
    Server address The URL for the server, and the port number (if applicable).
    Username The username that you have on the transfer server.
    Password The password that you have on the transfer server.
    Do not verify host's SSL certificate If selected, Drive will bypass the validation of your server's SSL certificate.

  4. If your transfer server supports sync, you can modify sync settings under Services > Settings.
    The Sync Settings dialog opens.
